Cover Story: Modern constructions are often characterized by the presence of slender and aesthetically fascinating components and assemblies. For pedestrian systems, special attention goes to possible vibration issues and, thus, to the need for specific calculations about human-induced loads. What happens, however, in transparent pedestrian systems made of structural glass? Based on a single microelectromechanical system (MEMS) sensor introduced in the body’s center of mass (CoM), this paper shows that human-induced effects can suffer from relevant modifications. Major attention is given to the well-known dynamic load factor (DLF). Comparative DLF experimental results are proposed for two relatively light and flexible glass floors (SLAB#2 and SLAB#3), towards a rigid reinforced concrete (RC) slab (SLAB#1). View this paper
