Recent Issues on Stadium Monitoring and Serviceability: A Review

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Dynamics of Coupled Structures, Volume 4

Abstract

Unlike most of civil engineering structures whose static and dynamic responses are estimated accurately through several codes and guidance, stadiums reserve a distinctive place especially when it comes to their dynamic behavior. This difference takes its source from several factors such as influence of crowd size, motion and slenderness of the structure. The most noticeable form of this difference shows itself as excessive vibration levels which is actually a threat to the serviceability of these structures. Eventually, it becomes essential to carefully evaluate several steps of this particular problem starting from correct representation of crowd activity through accurate loadings and human-structure interaction models to arranging acceptable vibration serviceability limits. This publication intends to point out the newly developed techniques and discovered issues on several stages of the problem during the last decade.
