Modelling human actions on lightweight structures : experimental and numerical developments [PDF]

, 2015
This paper presents recent, numerical and experimental, developments in modelling dynamic loading generated by humans. As modern structures with exposure to human-induced loading, such as footbridges, building floors and grandstands, are becoming ever ...

Identification of a Human-Structure Interaction Model on an Ultra-Lightweight FRP Footbridge

Applied Sciences, 2021
Due to the high strength-to-weight ratio of fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs), human-induced vibration problematic remains as a subject to be fully comprehended in order to extend the use of composites in Bridge Engineering.

Pedestrian load models of footbridges

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
The increase of vibration problems in modern footbridges shows that footbridges should no longer be designed for static loads only. Not only natural frequencies but also damping properties and pedestrian loading determine the dynamic response of ...
