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.

Vibration Serviceability of Footbridges Made of the Sustainable and Eco Structural Material: Glued-Laminated Wood. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2022 In this paper, dynamic analyses of two untypical, modern footbridges made of glued-laminated timber are presented. One of them is among the longest cable-stayed bridges for pedestrians in the world, made of such a structural material. Both structures are

City of Skywalks: Exploring Hong Kong’s Public Space and Power of Discourse from Footbridges
Social Sciences, 2022 As a public space and building, the footbridge is not just a physical concrete building but also carries people’s life experiences and beliefs. In Hong Kong, however, footbridges are a joint product of the government and property developers to control ...

Parameter Calibration of a Social Force Model for the Crowd-Induced Vibrations of Footbridges
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2021 A reliable prediction of the human-induced vibrations of footbridges relies on an accurate representation of the pedestrian excitation for different loading scenario. Particularly, the modeling of crowd-induced dynamic loading is a critical issue for the

Evaluation of TMD Performance in Footbridges Using Human Walking Probabilistic Models
Vibration, 2021 Footbridges are generally slender and lightweight structures with low stiffness, designed to support dynamic loads generated by crowds. Therefore, these structures are exposed to vibration problems related to the resonance of human walking step ...
