This paper provides a critical overview of available technology and facilities for determining human-induced dynamic forces of civil engineering structures, such as due to walking, running, jumping and bouncing. In addition to traditional equipment for direct force measurements comprising force plate(s), foot pressure insoles and instrumented treadmills, the review also investigates possibility of using optical motion tracking systems (marker-based and marker-free optoelectronic technology) and non-optical motion tracking systems (inertial sensors) to reproduce contact forces between humans and structures based on body kinematics data and known body mass distribution. Although significant technological advancements have been made in the last decade, the literature survey showed that the state-of-the-art force measurements are often limited to individuals in artificial laboratory environments. Experimental identification of seriously needed group- and crowd-induced force data recorded on as-built structures, such as footbridges, grandstands and floors, still remains a challenge due to the complexity of human actions and the lack of adequate equipment.read more

Structural vibration serviceability: New design framework featuring human-structure interaction
TL;DR: In this article, a new approach to vibration serviceability assessment (VSA) is proposed based on the actual level of vibration experienced by each pedestrian, rather than the typical maximum vibration response at a fixed point.

Adjustments to Zatsiorsky-Seluyanov's segment inertia parameters.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors adjust the mean relative center of mass positions and radii of gyration reported by Zatsiorsky et al. in order to reference them to the joint centers or other commonly used landmarks, rather than the original landmarks.
