- Additional information
- Funded by EPSRC Platform Grant EP/G061130/2, human-structure interaction in slender building floors is discovered, including the dynamic properties of higher modes of vibration for moving human bodies. When taken into account in design, the novel experimentally validated modelling of these interactions can halve or more the calculated vibration response of lightweight floors and enable their utilisation in modular buildings. The Seismic 2 consortium of leading UK off-site specialists (Chris.Hoggarth@elliottuk.com), funded by Innovate UK, is utilising these findings to reduce the weight of lightweight floors to control vibrations in the new generation of 100 modular schools worth £5bn in the UK.
