Abstract
- Existing dynamic load factors (DLF) for crowd jumping loads are modeled by identifying the peaks and energies from the corresponding Fourier amplitude spectrum, which may underestimate and overestimate structural responses, respectively. Based on the principle of equal structural responses, this study herein develops an equivalent DLF, using the frequency response function to weight and integrate the power spectral density (PSD) matrix of crowd jumping loads. Firstly, massive PSD matrices of different crowd sizes and different metronome frequencies are simulated using a random field model of crowd jumping loads. Thereafter, the equivalent DLF of different structural damping ratios, crowd sizes, metronome frequencies, and non-exceedance probabilities are investigated, and a model of the equivalent DLF is established accordingly. It is believed that this model could provide an efficient and accurate way to conduct reliability design for structures subjected to crowd jumping loads. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
