Serviceability response of a bench-mark cable-stayed footbridge: comparison of available methods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In previous Footbridge Conferences, the focus of researchers has been on the representation of pedestrian actions (vertical and lateral) to design footbridges, on the proposal of methodologies for the analysis in service of these structures and on the ...

A comparative analysis of selected models of pedestrian-generated dynamic loads on footbridges – vertical loads

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
In the paper the characteristics of selected dynamic load models of vertical forces generated during pedestrian movement (Vertical Ground Reaction Forces - VGRFs) and the results of dynamic numerical analyses and dynamic field tests of an exemplary ...

Deployment of a Tensegrity Footbridge

open access: yesJournal of Structural Engineering, 2015
Deployable structures are structures that transform their shape from a compact state to an extended in-service position. Structures composed of tension elements that surround compression elements in equilibrium are called tensegrity structures. Tensegrities are good candidates for deployable structures since shape transformations occur by changing ...

On the use of a simple tuned mass damper model for reducing the excessive vibration of tsunami evacuation suspension footbridge

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
The suspension footbridges are commonly constructed in the rural area. The constructions method is relatively simple compared to other types of bridges, thus as consequence, the construction cost also becomes relatively cheaper.

Modeling spatially unrestricted pedestrian traffic on footbridges [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The research into modeling walking-induced dynamic loading and its effects on footbridge structures and people using them has been intensified in the past decade after some high profile vibration serviceability failures.

Determining the necessity of a footbridge in Statice Heights [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The research stemmed from a request from The Women's Circle (TWC), an NGO that works in Statice Heights and other areas. TWC's aim is to encourage and assist people in finding solutions to the challenges they face in their context.

Assessment of human-induced vibrations of a cable-stayed footbridge

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
The primary purpose of this research is the evaluation of human-induced vibrations of a cable-stayed footbridge. The cable-stayed pedestrian bridge with total length of the span equal to 46.90 m located in Czestochowa (Southern Poland) was chosen as a ...

Footbridge usage in high-traffic flow highways: Does a Colombian case study demonstrate the failure of positive attitudes toward safety? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In the Decade of Action for Road Safety, the vulnerability of pedestrians to severe outcomes from road crash is well-recognised. This study explored the factors that are influential in pedestrians’ decisions to cross a high-traffic highway in ...

The Role and Importance of a Footbridge Suspended over a Highway in the Opinion of Its Users—Trabzon (Turkey)

open access: yesLand, 2021
In the urban landscape, footbridges appeared along with the development of urbanization through the implementation of more complex spatial structures.
