Abstract EN
A probabilistic walking load model that accounts for inter- and intrasubject variabilities has been developed to generate synthetic vertical load waveforms induced by pedestrians.
The mathematical model is based on a comprehensive database of continuously recorded pedestrian walking forces on an instrumented treadmill, having a wide range of walking frequencies.
The proposed model is able to replicate temporal and spectral features of real walking forces, which is a significant advantage over conventional Fourier series models.
The load model results in more realistic force time histories than previous models, since it incorporates significant components of the spectra that are omitted in Fourier series approaches.
The proposed mathematical model can be implemented in vibration serviceability assessment of civil engineering structures, such as building floors and footbridges, to estimate more realistically dynamic structural responses due to people walking.
