Under pedestrian load, significant vibration and comfort problems are easy to arise for large-span low-frequency structures so that human-structure interaction should be considered in the design. However, different human motion states have different human modal parameters, which makes the design more difficult. The Spring-Mass-Damper (SMD) model is used to conduct numerical simulation experiments on 6 box beams with different fundamental frequencies in 4 different human motion states, based on which the dynamic characteristics of the structure under 30 working conditions are compared and analyzed. It is recommended to use the modal parameters of the standing human body in the vibration comfort design, and use the modal parameters of the human body at normal walking speed for the design of the low-frequency structure.
