As materials become stronger and structures lighter, they become more lively under human-induced loading. Hence, vibration serviceability is becoming a key design criterion, rapidly replacing the ultimate limit state when determining the shape and dimensions of footbridges, (public) buildings and grandstands. However, the currently available load models are oversimplified and disregard the ever more important human-structure interaction effects, ...
