Abstract
Light and rapid constructions as well as considerations such as improved line of sight and increased capacity for modern stadium structures make them vulnerable for vibration serviceability problems. Especially when the individuals in a crowd are involved in some sort of a coordinated motion, this type of loading creates the highest potential for increased levels of vibration. In order to understand the causes of high vibration levels and serviceability and safety limits, detailed Finite Element Models (FEM) should be used in addition to the field studies. In this study, development of the FEM of a stadium is presented to investigate the structural performance of the stadium. After constructing the FEM, it is validated using the results of the modal analysis with human induced vibration data. In addition, laboratory studies are conducted to estimate the dynamic loading on the stadium
