Design of a TMD solution to mitigate wind-induced local vibrations in an existing timber footbridge

Smart Structures and Systems, 2015
The design of a passive control solution based on tuned mass dampers (TMD\'s) requires the estimation of the actual masses involved in the undesired vibration. This task may result not so straightforward as expected when the vibration resides in subsets of different structural components.

How to Make the Largest Footbridge Over a Motorway in Spain… (In Timber)

Footbridge 2017 Berlin - Tell A Story: Conference Proceedings 6-8.9.2017 TU-Berlin, 2017
<p>In Spain, timber is a material rarely used in construction. Despite wood has been used in construction for thousands of years, today is considered a short life matirial, which is suitable only for provisional purposes. Therefore, when a few years ago, due to the width extension of the A8 motorway, an old conventional metallic footbridge had to

Dynamic behaviour of timber footbridges

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. The procedure estimates the values of peak acceleration in the deck under such conditions.

Dynamic identification of a timber footbridge subject to vibration tests

2008
Over the last thirty years timber bridges and footbridges have been found considerable use especially by their versatility, good durability and pleasing aesthetic view. First the development of new technology and materials, as the laminated timber, second the use of innovative building, assembling and connection techniques and third the expansion of ...

Rapid Decay of a Timber Footbridge and Changes in Its Modal Frequencies Derived from Multiannual Lateral Deflection Measurements

Journal of Bridge Engineering, 2014
AbstractLateral deflections of a timber pedestrian bridge in Patras, Greece, excited by pedestrians were measured using a robotic total station (RTS) in six annual surveys. Analysis of the data indicated a drop of 1.6 Hz in the natural frequencies of the bridge between 2007 and 2008 and then a gradual drop of approximately 8% between 2008 and 2012 ...

On site dynamic test of a long span timber footbridge

2002
In this paper in situ dynamic test results on a long span timber footbridge are reported. As a result of evident flexibility of the structure not taken into account for during the design phase, the test engineer required a dynamic test just after footbridge concluding, with the aim to get realistic values of the main dynamic performances so as to ...
