Operational Modal Analysis of the Cablestayed Footbridge
Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2017 Modern architecture leads to design subtle bridge structures that are more sensitive to increased dynamic loading than the massive ones. This phenomenon can be especially observed on lightweight steel structures such as suspended footbridges. As a result,

Human‐Induced Vibration of Long‐Span Multi‐Layer Composite Beams—Analytical Calculation Method
ZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics / Zeitschrift für Angewandte Mathematik und Mechanik, Volume 106, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT The finite element method (FEM) provides a general framework for analyzing virtually all types of structures under various loading conditions. Nevertheless, in certain situations, designers may identify that the structural system exhibits predominantly beam‐like behavior, allowing the use of analytical theories.

WALKING-INDUCED VIBRATION OF A FOOTBRIDGE [PDF]
Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2015 In the last years, the need for structures able to link the functional and aesthetic role has led engineers and architects to design footbridges characterized by long span, light materials and increasing slenderness. The low ratio between permanent and variable loads makes recent footbridges more sensitive to the dynamic loads, such as the forces ...

American Ethnologist, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 283-295, August 2026.Abstract Over the past two decades, gondola lifts have become central to interventions in urban Latin America's auto‐constructed peripheries. As cable car urbanism reshapes the city's edge, it raises fundamental questions about the notion of the “urban fabric” as a sociomaterial practice, an epistemology, and a site of politics.

Numerical modelling of vandalistic action on footbridge for pedestrians and bicycles
Budownictwo i Architektura, 2011 The paper deals with numerical modelling of dynamic load acting on a footbridge. Two cases of loads caused by passing people have been considered: the load caused by crowd of people and by random stream of people.

Socio‐Biophysical Flood Vulnerability Analysis in Urban Informal Settlements in Kenya
Geo: Geography and Environment, Volume 13, Issue 2, July‐December 2026.Short Abstract Flooding in Mukuru kwa Reuben emerges from the overlap of low‐lying terrain, poor drainage and everyday socio‐economic and governance inequalities. By combining GIS mapping with participatory and survey methods, the study uncovers small‐scale ‘risk hotspots’ that remain invisible in formal flood models.

Human Factors and Ergonomics in Manufacturing &Service Industries, Volume 36, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence systems are increasingly deployed across diverse domains, and in some instances, their decisions may conflict with human ethical standards. Ethical dilemmas involving autonomous vehicle (AV) accidents, in particular, have attracted substantial scholarly attention.
