MODELLING OF PEDESTRIAN-INDUCED LOAD IN SERVICEABILITY LIMIT STATE ANALYSIS OF FOOTBRIDGES
Facta Universitatis. Series: Architecture and Civil Engineering, 2022 The last few decades new trends in the design of pedestrian bridges have resulted in lighter and more slender structures. This leads to a reduction in natural frequencies and increased flexibility, and thus a greater possibility for structures to become ...

Visualization of crowd synchronization on footbridges [PDF]
Journal of Visualization, 2009 This paper proposes a framework for the visualization of crowd walking synchronization on footbridges. The bridge is modeled as a mass-spring system, which is a weakly damped and driven harmonic oscillator. Both the bridge and the pedestrians walking on the bridge are affected by the movement of each other.

Vertical Vibrations of Footbridges Due to Group Loading: Effect of Pedestrian–Structure Interaction
Applied Sciences, 2021 The vibration serviceability of footbridges has evolved from the adoption of a single pedestrian crossing in the resonance condition to load cases in which several pedestrians cross the structure simultaneously.

Design of an emergency footbridge
WIT Transactions on The Built Environment, 2014 This paper will describe the design of a temporary emergency floating footbridge, to be made when the infrastructure is destroyed by a flood, hurricane, tsunami or any other disaster. The bridge is made of identical floating modules. The modules are composed of prefabricated elements: two trusses, a pontoon and the footpath.

Deployment of a Tensegrity Footbridge
Journal 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 ...

Informes de la Construccion, 1964 La pasarela recientemente construida en Des Moines (EE. UU.), presenta la notable particularidad de tener sus accesos en curva y apoyarse sobre pilares de forma cilíndrica. Como el terreno no tenía suficiente resistencia de sustentación se tuvo que reforzar hincando pilotes para hormigonar, sobre ellos, la solera en la que descansa el montante ...

MATEC 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.
