Mastering Floor Vibrations: The Critical Role of Mode Shapes in Footfall Analysis
Posted on in MasterFrame
Footfall analysis is essential in structural engineering because it assesses how a building or structure responds to vibrations caused by people walking or moving across floors, walkways, or other structural components. This is particularly critical in buildings with large open spaces, such as offices, shopping centres, stadiums, and footbridges, where the impact of foot traffic can lead to noticeable vibrations.
