Glass Suspension Footbridge: Human-Induced Vibration, Serviceability Evaluation, and Vibration Mitigation

Journal of Bridge Engineering, 2021
Abstract Glass suspension footbridges or glass-bottomed suspension footbridges, such as the Zhangjiajie Grand Canyon Glass Bridge in China, are increasingly constructed in scenic regions as tourist...

Classification of Human Induced Floor Vibrations

Building Acoustics, 2006
This paper summarizes results from vibration tests on floors. Classification of floors into five headings is given based on vibration characteristics. Suggested criteria and limiting values are proposed. These values are based on tests carried out on site and in laboratory conditions.

HUMAN INDUCED VIBRATIONS IN A PEDESTRIAN TIMBER BRIDGE

Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2013), 2014
The mountain landscape fits well with slender timber structures. Among them tim- ber bridges are becoming very popular, and the designers are extending the span toward the hundred meters threshold. For a long pedestrian timber bridge in the Italian Alps, the authors had the chance to acquire measurements of the structural response which were collected ...

Twin Rotor Damper for Human-Induced Vibrations of Footbridges

Journal of Structural Engineering, 2020
AbstractFootbridges often have a lightweight and slender design. As a result, they tend to be susceptible to human-induced vibrations.

Design of floor structures against human‐induced vibrations

Steel Construction, 2011
AbstractA simple method for designing floor structures against humaninduced vibrations is presented in a joint JRC‐ECCS publication, which was developed from two major European research projects supported by the Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS).

Passive control of human-induced footbridge vibrations

2014
The design of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMD) in order to get the required pedestrian comfort is becoming more and more usual in the current design of footbridges. This paper analyzes the optimal TMD design for mitigating pedestrian-induced vibrations in the most frequent loading scenarios, i.e. the single pedestrian modeled as a resonant moving harmonic load

Simulation of Human Induced Vibration of a Lively Footbridge

2017
In the last years, the need for structures able to link the functional and aesthetic role has led to the design of new flexible footbridges. The low ratio between permanent and variable loads makes them more sensitive to dynamic loads, such as the forces transmitted by pedestrians.

An Intelligent Analysis Method for Human-Induced Vibration of Concrete Footbridges

International Journal of Structural Stability and Dynamics, 2020
It is essential to reliably predict the human-induced vibrations in serviceability design of footbridges to ensure the vibration levels to be within the acceptable comfort limits. The human-induced structural responses are dependent on the dynamic properties of structures and human-induced excitations.

Design of slim‐floor construction for human‐induced vibrations

Steel Construction, 2015
AbstractThis paper presents a simplified design method for evaluating the vibration response of composite floors with slim‐floor beams. The methodology is amenable to hand calculations and is appropriate for floors with regularly spaced grids and vibrations that are occasioned by walking activities.

Human-induced vibrations of a curved cable-stayed footbridge

Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2018
Abstract This paper investigates and compares the performances of two simulation models to predict the footbridge response to vertical pedestrian dynamic actions. For this purpose, a rational procedure based on experimental tests, identification, model-updating and simulation is addressed.
