Vertical Vibrations of Footbridges Due to Group Loading: Effect of Pedestrian–Structure Interaction

open access: yesApplied 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.

Vision-Based Methodology for Characterizing the Flow of a High-Density Crowd on Footbridges: Strategy and Application

open access: yesInfrastructures, 2020
Obtaining pedestrian trajectories by a vision-based methodology is receiving increasing attention in the literature over recent decades. Within the field of study of human-induced vibrations on footbridges, practical challenges arise when collecting the ...

Assessment of the Lateral Vibration Serviceability Limit State of Slender Footbridges Including the Postlock-in Behaviour

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
The lateral vibration serviceability of slender footbridges has been the subject of many studies over the last few decades. However, in spite of the large amount of research, a common criterion has not been set yet.

Assessment of the dynamic structural behaviour of footbridges based on experimental monitoring and numerical analysis

open access: yesRevista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2020
This research work aims to investigate the dynamic structural behaviour and assess the human comfort of footbridges, when subjected to pedestrian walking, based on experimental tests and tuning of finite element model.

FRP bridges in Poland: state of practice [PDF]

open access: yesArchives 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:

3D‐printed concrete footbridges: An approach to assess the sustainability performance

open access: yesStructural Concrete, 2023
Digital fabrication with concrete (DFC) is fast becoming an attractive alternative for components (i.e., façades, urban furniture) and structural typologies (i.e., short‐span footbridges, columns, floor systems) for which complex geometries derived from ...

Evaluation of the Equivalent Moving Force Model for Lightweight Aluminum Footbridges in Simulating the Bridge Response under a Single-Pedestrian Walking Load

open access: yesEngineering Proceedings, 2023
Due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, extrudability, and recyclability, there is a growing demand for the use of aluminum for sustainable bridge constructions, especially for footbridges.

Viscoelastic damper for vibration mitigation of footbridges

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Earth and Environment, 2023
Footbridges are among long-span light-weight structures that because of their low damping ratio are susceptible to vibration. Excessive vibration in footbridges usually occurs when they are subjected to rhythmic dynamic loads caused by human activities ...

Uncertainty quantification and propagation of crowd behaviour effects on pedestrian-induced vibrations of footbridges

open access: yesMechanical systems and signal processing, 2022
11 The reliable prediction of pedestrian-induced vibration is essential for vibration 12 serviceability assessment and further vibration mitigation design of footbridges.
