Predicting footfall-induced vibration: Part 2 Available to Purchase

This is the second part of a two-part paper which reviews methods that are currently available for the prediction of footfall-induced vibration in structures. Part 1 considered methods appropriate for floors and bridges with vertical natural modes below 10 Hz. Part 2 considers floors with a first vertical mode over 10 Hz. The theoretical basis, complexity, robustness, reliability and limitations of four different predictive techniques are considered here.
