Vibration analysis of footbridges: an overview of the current practice
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 The design of a footbridge is typically controlled by serviceability criteria. The dynamic forces induced by pedestrians may result in high-amplitude vibrations that the users may feel as uncomfortable, or unsafe. As a consequence of the several cases of

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:

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 ...

Serviceability analysis for human-induced vertical vibration on pedestrian structures
Revista UIS Ingenierías, 2022 Civil engineering structures such as grandstands, slabs, footbridges and staircases have reported unacceptable vertical vibration when they are affected by human activities. Even when most of these structures are designed according to current guidelines

Vibration serviceability of footbridges under human-induced excitation : a literature review [PDF]
, 2004 Increasing strength of new structural materials and longer spans of new footbridges, accompanied with aesthetic requirements for greater slenderness, are resulting in more lively footbridge structures.

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 ...
