Abstract

Human-induced loads are dynamic actions exerted on supporting parts of structures by their users due to users  walking, jumping, running, dancing, bend and stretch, suddenly seating sown or standing up, and going up and down stairs to causevibrations of long-span light and flexible engineering structures, such as,long -span floors, pedestrian bridges, long cantilevered structures, sports grand stands and flexible stairs; if those loads are serious, it may lead to vibration serviceability problems. Studying human-induced loads is an important foundation for structures  engineering design and comfort evaluation due to human-induced vibrations. Here, based on summarizing the characteristic of human-induced loads and classifying them, the state -of-the -art studies and developments of human -induced loads  were then reviewed, the loads due to human s walking and jumping were focused on, challenges of advanced test techniques and
modeling faced by researchers were analyzed, the problems to be solved in future were discussed preliminarily.
