Vibrational performance of pedestrian bridges due to human-induced loads. [PDF]
The vibrational performance of footbridges due to human-induced loads has been investigated, based on modal and pedestrian tests carried out on three prototype footbridges.

Footbridges – Enriching Urban Structures
<p>Footbridges are a common urban feature. They fulfil important infra-structural as well as structural tasks and at the same time can enrich the urban environment.

Understanding the 2024 Summer Riots in the UK: Three Case Studies
ABSTRACT The wave of riots in England in summer 2024 constituted the biggest wave of disorder in the country for more than a decade. These were followed by swift policy responses, based on assumptions about the events and the participants, before any detailed empirical investigation had been carried out.

Evaluating vibrations on a small-scale model of a timber footbridge
In Brazil, the study of pedestrian-induced vibration on footbridges has been undertaken since the early 1990s, for concrete and steel footbridges. However, there are no recorded studies of this kind for timber footbridges.

The lateral vibration serviceability of slender footbridges has been the subject of many studies over the last few decades. However, in spite of the large amount of research, a common criterion has not been set yet.

Quantization of infinitesimal braidings and pre‐Cartier quasi‐bialgebras
Abstract In this paper, we extend Cartier's deformation theorem of braided monoidal categories admitting an infinitesimal braiding to the nonsymmetric case. The algebraic counterpart of these categories is the notion of a pre‐Cartier quasi‐bialgebra, which extends the well‐known notion of quasi‐triangular quasi‐bialgebra given by Drinfeld.

I Feel I Need to Think about It: A Defence of Affective Moral Enhancement
ABSTRACT Critics of affective moral enhancement generally contend that moral improvement can only be properly achieved through interventions that engage a person's rational faculties. Therefore, they view attempts to achieve moral improvement by targeting emotions as futile at best and detrimental to moral agency at worst.

Numerical and experimental assessment of a typical brazilian footbridge
For the range of medium spans, around 30 to 40m, composite footbridges are getting popular in Brazil. This kind of structure consists on longitudinal steel truss beams providing support for a concrete deck usually made of precast elements.

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