Modeling spatially unrestricted pedestrian traffic on footbridges [PDF]
, 2010 The research into modeling walking-induced dynamic loading and its effects on footbridge structures and people using them has been intensified in the past decade after some high profile vibration serviceability failures.

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.

Benchmark footbridge for vibration serviceability assessment under vertical component of pedestrian load [PDF]
, 2012 Vibration serviceability criteria are governing the design and determining the cost of modern, slender footbridges. Efficient and reliable evaluation of dynamic performance of these structures usually requires a detailed insight into the structural ...

Evaluation of Pedestrian Facilities in Al-Najaf City [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 Less attention to pedestrian facilities significantly affects traffic flow, such as side friction and delay. It was noted that a high interaction, in Al-Najaf city, with the vehicular stream by pedestrians resulted in a reduction in the performance of ...

Comparative analysis of dynamic load models generated by runners on footbridges [PDF]
Archives of Civil Engineering, 2023 Footbridges, like all building structures, must be designed in a way that ensures their safe and comfortable use. Steel footbridges characterised by low vibration damping often turn out to be a structure susceptible to the dynamic influence of users ...

Design of an emergency footbridge
WIT Transactions on The Built Environment, 2014 This paper will describe the design of a temporary emergency floating footbridge, to be made when the infrastructure is destroyed by a flood, hurricane, tsunami or any other disaster. The bridge is made of identical floating modules. The modules are composed of prefabricated elements: two trusses, a pontoon and the footpath.

Modal testing and FE model tuning of a lively footbridge structure [PDF]
, 2006 Despite huge advances in numerical modelling of civil engineering structures in recent decades, finite element models for footbridges should still be developed and used with caution when evaluating modal properties of these structures.

Deployment of a Tensegrity Footbridge
Journal of Structural Engineering, 2015 Deployable structures are structures that transform their shape from a compact state to an extended in-service position. Structures composed of tension elements that surround compression elements in equilibrium are called tensegrity structures. Tensegrities are good candidates for deployable structures since shape transformations occur by changing ...
