Human-Induced-Vibration Response Analysis and Comfort Evaluation Method of Large-Span Steel Vierendeel Sandwich Plate
A steel Vierendeel sandwich plate used as a large-span lightweight floor structure for vibration comfort during crowd gatherings was considered. Taking the steel Vierendeel sandwich plate in Guizhou Museum as an example, through finite element transient analysis, the effects of the structural damping, pedestrian self-weight, floor span, surface concrete slab thickness, and structural parameters on the floor’s acceleration response distribution were deeply studied. According to the distribution characteristics of the acceleration response, a distribution model function was constructed, and a distribution Gauss model of the relationship between the peak acceleration response and the position of the steel Vierendeel sandwich plate was established. A field test of the sandwich plate under human-induced fixed-point excitation was carried out, and the model fitting results were compared with the actual test results. The results showed that the Gaussian model could effectively estimate the peak acceleration response at different positions on the floor. In addition, according to the distribution model, a comfort evaluation method based on the comfort assurance rate was proposed that could greatly reduce the representative value of the acceleration evaluation. The research results provide a reference for the comfort evaluation and corresponding vibration-reduction design of long-span steel Vierendeel sandwich plates.
