Design for walking excitation

[Ahmad Alhamad]

Hello,

I have to reach the frequancy for large span slab more than 4HZ, but i misunderstand what are the loads that i should include them in time period and mass source definition.
should the self weight only include or self weight plus finishes on slab?

All dead laods, including self weight and finishes.
