Some relevant aspects of footbridge vibrations [PDF]
Facta Universitatis. Series: Architecture and Civil Engineering, 2002 Considering the contemporary structural inaterials that are becoming more resistant, having higher strength to weight ratio, and the fact that live load of footbridges is low, the design based on static analysis only, respecting ultimate limit states ...

THE ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, Volume 92, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT This study examines how community telecenters operate as public spaces for digital inclusion within e‐government initiatives in Recife, Brazil. Although Community Technology Centers (CTCs) are frequently promoted in ICT4D policies as mechanisms for expanding digital citizenship and access to public services, less is known about how these ...

International Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 169-186, June 2026.ABSTRACT Geometrically nonlinear static analysis of materially imperfect composite doubly curved shells is investigated via the generalised differential quadrature method. The effects of both shear and thickness deformation are considered through a thickness‐ and shear‐deformable third‐order theory formulated in curvilinear coordinates, while the ...

Impact of half‐joint failures on RC girder bridges: A robustness quantification study
Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 3309-3324, June 2026.Abstract The robustness of bridge structures is critical to ensuring safety and service continuity, particularly in aging infrastructure exposed to degradation and unexpected loads. Reinforced concrete (RC) half‐joint bridges—widely built in Italy between the 1950s and 1970s—exhibit specific vulnerabilities due to inspection challenges, durability ...

A 6 Metre Long Glass Footbridge for the Ancient Public Slaughterhouse of Pisa
Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings, 2016 This paper illustrates the design process and the load testing of a steel-reinforced laminated glass beam built for a 6 m span glass footbridge. This specific glass footbridge has been designed and tested to join two existing floors of the main room of a
