Response factor
The Response factor analysis result shows a dimensionless value that expresses how much the dynamic vibration response of a structure exceeds a defined base curve representing the threshold of human perception of vibration.
It allows you to evaluate whether vibration levels in floor structures are acceptable for human occupancy under pedestrian-induced dynamic excitation.
Response factor is available for the following analysis context.
- Footfall calculation
Result selection
To display Response factor, you must select:
- result type, such as overall maximum, transient response, or steady state maximum
- self excitation region
Only the selections relevant to this result type are shown.
Result display
Response factor is displayed as a colour palette, where colours represent the calculated response factor values across the structure.
