Quantification of Dynamic Excitation Potential of Pedestrian Population Crossing Footbridges [PDF]
Shock and Vibration, 2011 Due to their slenderness, many modern footbridges may vibrate significantly under pedestrian traffic. Consequently, the vibration serviceability of these structures under human-induced dynamic loading is becoming their governing design criterion.

Use of Smartphone-Based Experimental Data for the Calibration of Biodynamic Spring-Mass-Damper (SMD) Pedestrian Models [PDF]
SensorsIn practice, the structural analysis and design of pedestrian systems subjected to human-induced vibrations is often based on simplified biodynamic models that can be used in place of even more complex computational strategies to describe Human-Structure

Experimental Evaluation of Pedestrian-Induced Multiaxial Gait Loads on Footbridges: Effects of the Structure-to-Human Interaction by Lateral Vibrating Platforms [PDF]
SensorsThe introduction of resistant and lightweight materials in the construction industry has led to civil structures being vulnerable to excessive vibrations, particularly in footbridges exposed to human-induced gait loads.

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 ...

MODELLING OF PEDESTRIAN-INDUCED LOAD IN SERVICEABILITY LIMIT STATE ANALYSIS OF FOOTBRIDGES
Facta Universitatis. Series: Architecture and Civil Engineering, 2022 The last few decades new trends in the design of pedestrian bridges have resulted in lighter and more slender structures. This leads to a reduction in natural frequencies and increased flexibility, and thus a greater possibility for structures to become ...

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
