Abstract

En 中文
In buildings that give shelter to a large group of people, mainly grandstands, high levels of vibrations have been observed. This can both compromise structural safety and human comfort levels. But international codes for structural design, still do not prescribe dynamic loads due to human activities such as walking,jumping, etc. Therefore, due to the importance of these types of loads, some research is being developed at Prof. Lobo Carneiro's Laboratory of Structures of Civil Engineering Department at COPPE/UFRJ, and its main goal is to mathematically describe loads due to various human activities. In this work, results obtained up to now are shown, along with the mathematical description of these loads and a range of practical values for the coefficients used to describe them.
