Quantification of dynamic excitation potential of pedestrian population crossing footbridges [PDF]

, 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.
