Modeling of Human Structure Interaction in

Vibration Analysis
Problem Description:
1. The point of application of the time history load function.
2. The load function whether to start from zero or not.

Trials adapted:
Trial # Description
1 Original models as received.
2 Modified load function to start from zero.
3 Modified point of application of time history load to apply on the top node of
the connecting elements to the mass acting in +ve z direction and on the
bottom node acting in –ve z direction
4 Both of modifications in trial 2, & 3 together.

Models Per Trial:

Model # Description
1 Uniformly distributed time history load on all the structure.
2 Distributed time history load on cantilever only with amplified number of
people per square meter.
3 As model 1, but with modified frequency used in load function calculation to be
1.9.
4 As model 1, but with modified frequency used in load function calculation to be
3.8.
