Design of Steel Footbridges for Unpredictive Loadings by STAAD Pro: LRFD vs. ASD for Cost Saving
Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science, 2022 Steel footbridges are common means of connecting two zones separated by any kind of physical obstruction to the pedestrian crossing. In the last century, they were mostly designed using manual calculations.

Informes de la Construccion, 1964 La pasarela recientemente construida en Des Moines (EE. UU.), presenta la notable particularidad de tener sus accesos en curva y apoyarse sobre pilares de forma cilíndrica. Como el terreno no tenía suficiente resistencia de sustentación se tuvo que reforzar hincando pilotes para hormigonar, sobre ellos, la solera en la que descansa el montante ...

A Statistical Approach for Modeling Individual Vertical Walking Forces
Applied Sciences, 2021 This paper proposes a statistical approach for modeling vertical walking forces induced by single pedestrians. To account for the random nature of human walking, the individual vertical walking force is modeled as a series of steps and the gait ...

INTERVAL SERVICEABILITY ASSESSMENT OF FOOTBRIDGES [PDF]
Proceedings of the XI International Conference on Structural Dynamics, 2020 This paper studies serviceability assessment of footbridges through a non-deterministic approach. The parameters defining pedestrian-induced loading and the structural dynamic properties are characterized through possible ranges of variation. Starting from analytical expressions for the spectral moments of the structural response, the improved interval

Towards sustainable polymeric materials: zero waste, green and self-healing [PDF]
, 2015 Although polymeric materials are widely adopted in various applications, the sustainability of the materials is often controversial, particularly on the current handling of polymeric wastes and the use of non-renewable resources as raw materials. A brief
