An approach to predict human–structure interaction in the case of staircases
This paper presents a general approach for modelling human–structure interaction in the case of vertical vibrations that is based on a model of the system and on a solution procedure that is able to account fo...

The Prediction of Vibrations for Light Structures in Presence of Moving People
Recently, a model to describe the vibration of light structures (e.g. footbridges, staircases) was proposed by the authors of this paper. Such a model was developed with the aim of being accurate with a high n...
