This paper analyses the response of the tower structure to excitation caused by a human movement to assure safe exploitation and acceptable human comfort levels during the exploitation. There are adopted different levels of the structure and human behavior synchronization and its effect on the structure. This phenomenon (synchronization) should be taken into account because people respond naturally to a structure oscillation when structure has a frequency close to people natural movement frequency.
