Buildings, 2022 Current codes and guidelines for the dynamic design of footbridges often only specify the pedestrian-induced excitations. However, earthquakes may occur during the passing stage of pedestrians in earthquake-prone regions.

Pedestrian-Induced Vibrations of Footbridges: An Extended Spectral Approach
Journal of Bridge Engineering, 2020 Abstract The vibration serviceability assessment of footbridges under pedestrian traffic requires a probabilistic approach considering the uncertainty in the dynamic behavior of the structure and t...

Parameter Calibration of a Social Force Model for the Crowd-Induced Vibrations of Footbridges
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2021 A reliable prediction of the human-induced vibrations of footbridges relies on an accurate representation of the pedestrian excitation for different loading scenario. Particularly, the modeling of crowd-induced dynamic loading is a critical issue for the

Shear Lag Effects on Pedestrian-Induced Vibration and TMD-Based Vibration Control of Footbridges [PDF]
Structural Engineering International, 2022 The shear lag effect (SLE) is one of the vital mechanical characteristics of structures with thin-walled box sections. While most existing studies of the SLE focus on the static response of footbridges, pedestrian-induced vibration deserves more attention since it represents the actual response of footbridges during their practical service process.

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.

Vibration serviceability of footbridges under human-induced excitation : a literature review [PDF]
, 2004 Increasing strength of new structural materials and longer spans of new footbridges, accompanied with aesthetic requirements for greater slenderness, are resulting in more lively footbridge structures.

Applied Sciences, 2021 As human occupancy has an enormous effect on the dynamics of light, flexible, large-span, low-damping structures, which are sensitive to human-induced vibrations, it is essential to investigate the effects of pedestrian–structure interaction.

Optimal actuator placement for control of vibrations induced by pedestrian-bridge interactions
Mathematics in Applied Sciences and Engineering, 2023 In this paper, an optimal actuator placement problem, with a linear wave equation as the constraint, is considered. In particular, this work presents the framework for finding the best location of actuators depending upon the given initial conditions ...

Vibration Analysis of Low Height-to-Span Ratio Pedestrian Bridge under Human-Induced Excitation
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2023 Driven by the aesthetic pursuit of the urban landscape, pedestrian bridges become longer, lighter, and slender, which may be susceptible to unacceptable vibrations induced by human activities.
