Experimental and Numerical Analyses of Timber–Steel Footbridges
Applied Sciences (Switzerland)In 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

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.

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 ...

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.

Vibration Serviceability of Footbridges Made of the Sustainable and Eco Structural Material: Glued-Laminated Wood [PDF]
Materials, 2022 In this paper, dynamic analyses of two untypical, modern footbridges made of glued-laminated timber are presented. One of them is among the longest cable-stayed bridges for pedestrians in the world, made of such a structural material. Both structures are

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 ...
