Experimental Tests and Numerical Analyses for the Dynamic Characterization of a Steel and Wooden Cable-Stayed Footbridge

open access: yesInfrastructures, 2023
Vibrations are an issue of increasing importance in current footbridge design practice. More sophisticated footbridges with increasing spans and more effective construction materials result in lightweight structures and a high ratio of live load to dead ...

Applicability of Multi‐Agent Simulation for Crowd Control After a Large‐Scale Event

open access: yesJAPAN ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW, Volume 9, Issue 1, January–December 2026.
ABSTRACT This study aims to assess the applicability of multi‐agent simulation for crowd control after large‐scale events. It focuses on pedestrian pathways around a stadium in an urban area. By utilizing real‐world pedestrian flow data, we investigated the parameters essential for simulation and analyzed crowd control.

Experimental Assessment of Double‐Skin Tubular Columns Under Eccentric Loads

open access: yesce/papers, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 455-460, December 2025.
Abstract The CFDST (concrete‐filled double‐skin tubular) columns consist of concentric steel tubes with concrete filling between them and have a lower self‐weight compared to other configurations of composite columns. Double‐skin columns provide good structural performance, even when subjected to seismic activity, explosions, and dynamic loads ...

Study of pedestrian-induced vibrations on timber footbridges

open access: yesMaderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2014
In Brazil, studies about pedestrian-induced vibrations on footbridges have been carried out since the early 1990s, for concrete and steel footbridges. However, there is no record of such studies and the Brazilian Standard NBR 7190 (1997) for the design ...

Optimization of Shell Structures with Fuzzy Probability‐Based Random Fields Using Artificial Neural Networks

open access: yesPAMM, Volume 25, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The structural design optimization aims for robust structures with minimal use of material resources, leading to slender and thin‐walled structures, which entail a higher risk of stability problems. This issue is further influenced by geometrical imperfections, which are subjected to uncertainties.
