Global Vibration Comfort Evaluation of Footbridges Based on Computer Vision [PDF]
Sensors, 2022 The vibration comfort evaluation is a control standard other than strength and deflection, but the general comfort evaluation method only considers the response of the mid-span position and does not consider the difference in the vibration response of ...

Seismic Assessment of Footbridges under Spatial Variation of Earthquake Ground Motion (SVEGM): Experimental Testing and Finite Element Analyses [PDF]
Sensors, 2020 In this paper, the seismic assessments of two footbridges, i.e., a single-span steel frame footbridge and a three-span cable-stayed structure, to the spatial variation of earthquake ground motion (SVEGM) are presented.

FRP bridges in Poland: state of practice [PDF]
Archives of Civil Engineering, 2021 The state of the art in the field of composite polymer bridges in Poland is presented below. Such bridges were built from 1999. Some of them are fully composite polymer structure. Others are developed as hybrid structure. There are two kind of structures:

Quantification of dynamic excitation potential of pedestrian population crossing footbridges [PDF]
, 2011 Due to their slenderness, many modern footbridges may vibrate significantly under pedestrian traffic. Consequently, the vibration serviceability of these structures under human-induced dynamic loading is becoming their governing design criterion.
