Human-Induced Vibrations on Two Lively Footbridges in Milan

open access: yesJournal of Bridge Engineering, 2016
This article describes the results of extensive full-scale experiments carried out on two lively footbridges recently built in Milan, Italy. The objective of the study was to assess the dynamic characteristics of the bridges and the expected vibration level induced by pedestrians. A preliminary vibration analysis of the bridges revealed their potential

Twin Rotor Damper for Human-Induced Vibrations of Footbridges

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

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.

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 ...

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.

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.
