Evaluating vibrations on a small-scale model of a timber footbridge [PDF]
Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2014 In Brazil, the study of pedestrian-induced vibration on footbridges has been undertaken since the early 1990s, for concrete and steel footbridges. However, there are no recorded studies of this kind for timber footbridges.

The design of glued laminated timber footbridge structure according to Eurocodes [PDF]
Facta Universitatis. Series: Architecture and Civil Engineering, 2006 The paper presents the conceptual design of the footbridge made of laminated wood. The supporting system of the main bearing elements is made of the laminated wood in the system of arch with three joints and the bridge deck is made of the composite ...

Experimental and Numerical Analyses of Timber–Steel Footbridges
Applied SciencesIn addition to traditional building materials, such as steel and concrete, wood has been gaining increasing prominence in recent years. In the past, the use of wood was limited due to its susceptibility to damage by fungi, insects, and temperature. These

Dynamic behaviour of timber footbridges [PDF]
, 2004 In ENV1995-2:1997 (Eurocode 5-Part 2), a simplified method is proposed for checking the serviceability limit state (SLS) of vibration in timber bridges subjected to the action of streams of pedestrians.

Standards guidelines for human comfort tested on timber footbridges
Semina: Ciências Exatas e Tecnológicas, 2011 Activities such as walking, running and jumping can produce undesirable dynamic excitations, which are a phenomenon that occurs due to pedestrian-induced dynamic forces whenever a footbridge features a natural frequency within stepping frequency ranges ...

Experimental and Numerical Dynamic Properties of Two Timber Footbridges Including Seasonal Effects [PDF]
International Journal of Civil Engineering, 2021 AbstractThis paper deals with experimental and numerical dynamic analyses of two timber footbridges. Both bridges have a span of 35 m and consist of a timber deck supported by two timber arches. The main purpose is to investigate if the dynamic properties of the bridges are season dependent.

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.

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.

DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS AND DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF TIMBER FOOTBRIDGES TO DYNAMIC HUMAN ACTIVITIES
World Conference on Timber Engineering (WCTE 2023), 2023 The dynamic action of footbridge users in different forms of activity (especially during walking andrunning) may cause an excessive vibration of the footbridge deck and may disturb the comfort of use of the structure. Thedynamic susceptibility of the footbridges varies depending on the construction material used to build the footbridge andthe typical ...
