Multi-scale model updating of a timber footbridge using experimental vibration data [PDF]
Engineering Computations, 2017 Purpose The purpose of this paper is to capture the actual structural behavior of the longest timber footbridge in Spain by means of a multi-scale model updating approach in conjunction with ambient vibration tests. Design/methodology/approach In a first stage, a numerical pre-test analysis of the full bridge is performed, using standard beam-type ...

Evaluating vibrations on a small-scale model of a timber footbridge
Maderas: Ciencia y Tecnología, 2011 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.
