Sensitivity Analysis for Pedestrian-Induced Vibration in Footbridges
Buildings, 2022 This paper aims to provide a novel insight into the influence of uncertainties in system- and pedestrian-induced load parameters on the vibration response of footbridges. The study begins with a sensitivity analysis for the vertical vibration response of a representative footbridge to two loading cases: a single pedestrian and a crowd.

STUDY OF PEDESTRIAN-INDUCED VIBRATIONS ON TIMBER FOOTBRIDGESC
Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2010 In Brazil, studies about pedestrian-induced vibrations on footbridges have been carried out since the early 1990s, for concrete and steel footbridges. However, there is no record of such studies and the Brazilian Standard NBR 7190 (1997) for the design of timber structures only presents design requirements for static loads, in the case of timber ...

A Theory of Pedestrian-Induced Footbridge Vibration Comfortability Based on Sensitivity Model [PDF]
Advances in Bridge Engineering, 2021 AbstractPedestrian-induced footbridge vibration comfort level is a complex problem that has been studied for a long time. However, no consensus has been reached on a quantitative calculation index for assessing vibration comfort level. Only simple comfort limits, rather than specific relationships between comfort level and the vibration endurance ...

Vibration serviceability limit state of pedestrian bridges [PDF]
Građevinski Materijali i Konstrukcije, 2021 Modern conustructions of pedestrian bridges must satisfy functional and increasingly complex architectural requirements. In order to achieve the attractive design of pedestrian bridges, modern constructions generally differ from older, conventional ...
