    The document discusses changes made to equations for calculating dynamic load factors for footfall analysis in the revised 2009 edition of SCI P354 compared to the 2007 publication. Specifically, the parameter fp was replaced with hfp, resulting in different dynamic factor calculations by Robot Structural Analysis software compared to the standard. An example calculation at a walking frequency of 1.605 Hz demonstrates the higher differences in factors for the third and fourth harmonics in the revised edition, which can significantly affect the weighted RMS acceleration response if resonance occurs.

    We are running the footfall analysis according to SCI P354 to a composite floor.

    The Robot Structural


    Analysis Professional 2017 presents in the footfall analysis diagrams, the Dynamic load factor for every
    walking frequency, as can be seen in the figure below:

    This table is in agreement to the table 3.1 of the 2007 publication of SCI P354, but in the Revised Edition of
    February 2009, they have modified the equations to calculate the dynamic factor, as follow:

    In these equations, they have replaced the parameter fp for hfp, and the dynamic factors are now different
    from the calculated by Robot. An example for a walking frequency of 1.605 Hz is calculated below:

    According to SCI P354 (2007 publication) According to SCI P354 (Revised Edition)
    . 1º harmonic: h = 0.436(1.605-0.95) = 0.286 . 1º harmonic: h = 0.436(1.605-0.95) = 0.286
    . 2º harmonic: h = 0.006(1.605+12.3) = 0.083 . 2º harmonic: h = 0.006(2x1.605+12.3) = 0.093
    . 3º harmonic: h = 0.007(1.605+5.2) = 0.048 . 3º harmonic: h = 0.007(3x1.605+5.2) = 0.070
    . 4º harmonic: h = 0.007(1.605+2.0) = 0.025 . 4º harmonic: h = 0.007(4x1.605+2.0) = 0.059

    The differences are higher for the third and fourth harmonic and, when the resonance occurs for one of
    them, the weighted rms acceleration response (aw,rms) can be significantly affected.
