| Summary: | ability to describe the motions of many pedestrians and Although models have been suggested to describe the loadings and the new models were compared to those from the measured caused by pedestrian motion, they do not adequately model crowding. The new pedestrian loading models were applied to data. Additionally, the responses from different loading describing pedestrian motion was approached from a different different types of structural finite element models and direction and a new, more versatile model of the loading was half-sine Fourier series with variables for the contact time introduced. These loadings were represented using a step and loading patterns. Responses from both the previous models mode to be described. These new models also provide the multiple computer simulations were run with variations of of each foot and the maximum amplitude for each pedestrian patterns with varied spatial, phasing, and crowding pedestrian loading patterns. Therefore the task of results of the new model and confirmed the necessity of situations such as phasing, spatial orientation, and situations were analyzed. These simulations proved favorable taking different load situations into consideration. |
