Crowd-induced loading on footbridges: reliability of an Equivalent Spectral Model
Journal of Physics, Conference SeriesVibration serviceability assessment of footbridges requires a reliable probabilistic model for multi-pedestrian loading and a suitable approach to take into account human-structure interaction.

Reliability of Manual Counting for Thermal Census of Bats Within Human‐Made Structures
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Bats have a critical role in ecosystems worldwide, but monitoring their populations remains challenging, particularly in complex roosts within human‐made structures. We examined the reliability of manual bat counts from thermal infrared video, a method widely used to estimate populations and evaluate computer vision censusing approaches.

Philosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The authors both accept the non‐consequentialist principle that prohibits an agent from killing one to save five. The authors argue about whether that principle similarly prohibits an agent from letting herself kill one in order to save five: Byrne insists it does; Sridharan insists it doesn't.

Design Procedures for Footbridges Subjected to Walking Loads: Comparison and Remarks
The Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2017 This paper aims at pointing out some misconceptions concerning the evaluation of the walking-induced dynamic response of footbridges, and their impact on design procedures. First, a review of the existing Code provisions is briefly presented.

Refining Transit‐Oriented Development Assessment: Ecological Conditions as a Critical Supplement
Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, EarlyView.Abstract Existing transit‐oriented development (TOD) assessments rarely examine whether station environments also support everyday ecological functions, including recreation access, thermal moderation, restoration and biodiversity. We developed a Node–Place–Design–Eco (NPDE) diagnosis for 92 Hong Kong railway station areas, combining conventional TOD ...

Feared self and responsibility in obsessive compulsive phenomena
British Journal of Clinical Psychology, Volume 65, Issue 4, Page 1114-1127, November 2026.Abstract Objectives This study investigated the roles of feared self and inflated responsibility in obsessive–compulsive tendencies through an online experiment. Design A total of 185 participants (Mage = 28.11, SD = 9.12) were randomly assigned to either a heightened responsibility or control condition, then primed with feared self scenarios (morality

Pedestrian load models of footbridges
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017 The increase of vibration problems in modern footbridges shows that footbridges should no longer be designed for static loads only. Not only natural frequencies but also damping properties and pedestrian loading determine the dynamic response of ...

The design of glued laminated timber footbridge structure according to Eurocodes [PDF]
Facta Universitatis. Series: Architecture and Civil Engineering, 2006 The paper presents the conceptual design of the footbridge made of laminated wood. The supporting system of the main bearing elements is made of the laminated wood in the system of arch with three joints and the bridge deck is made of the composite ...

Exploring the potential of Textile Reinforced Concrete for corrosion‐insensitive retaining walls
Structural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 7509-7533, October 2026.Abstract In a context where durability concerns, particularly the corrosion of steel reinforcement, remain a critical challenge for conventional reinforced concrete structures under severe exposure, Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is emerging as a promising alternative.
