    Highlights:


    • Vibration problems in structures: serviceability problems reducing people's comfort to an unacceptable level or safety problems with danger of failure
    • Vibration analysis and design
    • Forcing functions representing human walks in computer model of the structure 
    • Evaluation of the walking excitation force models to predict the structural response
    • Dynamic tests: case studies
