Horizontal force caused by the man stroking or stumbling?
(OP)
I'm wondering about horizontal force caused by the man stumbling or percussion?
I have to design 6m high, 0.5 wide and 9m long wood frame wall on fair site. The wall should not be touched, but I'm concerned about accidental horizontal force (which may cause overturning) due to man stumbling or stroking. Do you have any suggestions about it's magnitude?
My thoughts are: approx. 0.8kN on 1.5m from the floor?
Any comments are appreciated
Thanx

Definitely it will fall down... but there's a prohibition for such vehicles! Just humans can walk around!

If the wall is properly designed, I'd worry more about the guys head than the wall, and he'll need a doctor; and that wall certainly needs an engineer.

1. 50 lbs per linear foot in any direction
2. 200 lbs point load applied to
If you are talking about vehicle impact loads, that's varies between IBC and AASHTO, IBC is 6 kips.

-200 lbs applied to any point on the handrail or guard in any direction

but i think he means the medical condition ...
"fair site" i think refers to a country "fair", like a "carnie".
a wall 6m high, 0.5m wide shoudn't fall over ... build a couple of frame walls with some access panels to pound some ground anchors (re-bar?) into the ground; or cover the frames after you've installed the ground anchors ...
surely "fair"/"circus"/"carnie" folks have been doing this for ages ??
