Numerical Model for Human Induced Vibrations [PDF]
, 2017 This paper proposes a new model for describing the effect of people on the dynamic behaviour of slender structures. The influence of people is described by using the so-called ground reaction forces. These are split into two types: passive ground reaction forces and active ground reaction forces.

EVALUATION OF HUMAN INDUCED VIBRATIONS IN KJÆRRA BRIDGE
Proceedings of the XI International Conference on Structural Dynamics, 2020 The users of the 132-meter-long Kjærra Bridge in Larvik, Norway, noticed severe lateral vibrations due to pedestrian loading on the opening day in 2001. During the period that the bridge was designed, there were no clear guidelines to minimize pedestrian induced vibrations in footbridges.

Analysis of human-induced vibrations in a lightweight framework [PDF]
Applied Acoustics, 2016 This article analyzes the vibratory behavior of a Material-Composed Sandwich (MCS) framework for residential buildings. It has been observed qualitatively that the use of this kind of framework leads to poor comfort levels. The goal of this study is to find out the sources of this lack of comfort, in order to suggest guidelines that can enhance the ...

Vibration Serviceability of the Aberfeldy Footbridge under Various Human-Induced Loadings
Materials, 2023 Developing new structural materials, such as composite materials, has provided many opportunities in bridge engineering. Among these materials, glass-fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRPs), in particular, have found applications in footbridges. However, some of the commonly recognized advantages of GFRPs, such as the high values of the strength/weight ratio,
