MILLAN YUSTI, Diana Carolina; VALENZUELA, Patricia y THOMSON, Peter. CHARACTERIZATION OF DANCE LOADS ON AN EXPERIMENTAL PLATFORM. Rev. ing. univ. Medellín [online]. 2013, vol.12, n.23, pp.47-58. ISSN 1692-3324.
The use of light and strong materials has allowed the construction of mezzanines which meet ideal spatial and geometric conditions to accommodate a significant number of people. Despite these weight and resistance characteristics represent decreased construction costs, these mezzanines tend to be more susceptible to vibration problems, especially when excitement can be classified as a rhythmic activity. This article shows characterization of loads produced by people performing dancing activities from measurements in a real scale experimental platform. Impact factors and Fourier's coefficients, which represent the load to which the structure is subject, caused by people dancing, are identified. Results of this research were obtained in a research project sponsored by COLCIENCIAS and Universidad del Valle according to Contract 382-2009.
Palabras clave : Fourier's coefficients; impact factors; rhythmic activities; excessive vibration; flexible mezzanines.
