ABSTRACT
How people interact with their environment is a topical issue and one of increasing importance. One form of physical interaction which is understood poorly, even by professionals, is concerned with human response to structural vibration. This is important, for example, when determining how dance floors, footbridges and grandstands respond to moving crowds and for determining how stationary people are affected by vibration in their working environment. Human-structure interaction provides a new topic that describes the independent human system and structural system working as a whole and studies the structural vibration where people are involved and human body response to structural movements.
