Title Guide to evaluation of the response of occupants of fixed structures, especially buildings and offshore structures, to low-frequency horizontal motion (0.063 Hz to 1 Hz)
Abstract Relates to typical responses of people to the horizontal motion of structures in frequency range 0.063 Hz to 1 Hz. Whole body motion caused by structural vibrations induced by infrequent external environmental forces is considered separately from vibrations caused by frequently occurring force action.
