Beschreibungen

The effects of human loads on structures are difficult to predict because they depend on the type of activity people are performing. However, models for typical activities such as standing, sitting and jumping have been proposed in the literature. Traditional models represent the human body as a system of lumped masses, dampers and springs arranged in a system with multiple degrees of freedom. Arguably, these models might not fully represent the human body because lumped masses, dampers and springs cannot add energy to the overall system.
Controller systems have been widely used in electrical, seismic and other fields of engineering for systems in which setting a specific response is important. Given that the human acts like a controller system, where the feedback affects the response of the system, and the specific use of controllers is becoming common in structural engineering, this research developed a controller model to reproduce the phenomenon of Human-Structure Interaction (HSI).
Albert Ricardo Ortiz Lasprilla is an assistant professor at the School of Civil Engineering and Geomatics at Universidad del Valle since 2019. Previously, he was at Universidad del Norte in Barranquilla and at Universidad de Medellín in Medellín. Albert is a Doctor in Civil Engineering from the University of South Carolina in the United States and holds a Master's degree in Structures from Universidad del Valle in Cali, Colombia, where he also graduated as a geographer and civil engineer. He has received distinctions as outstanding graduate of the Civil Engineering program at Universidad del Valle, recognition of excellence by the University of South Carolina, in addition to the thesis laureate in his undergraduate degree.
