A blog post by Aleksandar Pavic Vibration performance of low-frequency building floors responding to human-induced footfall dynamic loading, better known as walking, is worldwide by far the most widely considered vibration serviceability requirement. It has rightly…

A blog post by Aleksandar Pavic A quarter of a century of my dealings with excessive vibrations of building floors under footfall loading has taught me that, once a floor experiences a vibration problem, fixing it…

Full Scale Dynamics played a major role in creating the EPSRC VSimulators facility at Universities of Bath and Exeter, hence we very much look forward to supporting projects using VSimulators to manage vibration serviceability in new and…

Blog post written by Professor Aleksandar Pavic, Managing Director Recently, the University of Cambridge invited me to give a seminar to their Structures Research Group on a topic of my own choosing. Of course, I accepted…

Nowadays, structural vibrations, rather than strength govern the design of modern lightweight floors. Human-structure interaction is currently not taken into account but our recent research on full-scale structures found that it is crucial for determining…
