In situ testing and nonlinear modelling for a cable-stayed timber footbridge [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2014 The authors had the chance to collect structural response measurements of a cable-stayed glued-laminated-timber (GLT) footbridge located in Farra d’Alpago (not far from the town of Belluno, in North-Eastern Italy). A consistent geometrically nonlinear finite element model was generated and its parameters were calibrated on the experimental data ...

Shock and Vibration, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 This paper presents a numerical study on the deterministic and probabilistic serviceability assessment of footbridge vibrations due to a single walker crossing. The dynamic response of the footbridge is analyzed by means of modal analysis, considering only the first lateral and vertical modes.

Interaction between Walking Humans and Structures in Vertical Direction: A Literature Review
Shock and Vibration, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016 Realistic simulation of the dynamic effects of walking pedestrians on structures is still a considerable challenge. This is mainly due to the inter‐ and intrasubject variability of humans and their bodies and difficult‐to‐predict loading scenarios, including multipedestrian walking traffic and unknown human‐structure interaction (HSI) mechanisms.

Shock and Vibration, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Since 1995, we have been measuring the in situ dynamic characteristics of different types of footbridges built in Portugal (essentially steel and precast reinforced concrete decks) with single spans running from 11 to 110 m long, using expedite exciting and measuring techniques.

Ambient Vibration Testing for Story Stiffness Estimation of a Heritage Timber Building
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 This paper investigates dynamic characteristics of a historic wooden structure by ambient vibration testing, presenting a novel estimation methodology of story stiffness for the purpose of vibration‐based structural health monitoring. As for the ambient vibration testing, measured structural responses are analyzed by two output‐only system ...

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 Damage in structures is reflected in permanent changes of their natural frequencies and theoretically can be derived through measurements. Still, measurement‐derived frequencies of structures usually reflect a superimposition of various effects, fluctuations due to environmental and loading conditions, noise, and possible permanent changes (damage or ...

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 36, Issue 8, Page 2609-2638, 15 May 2025.ABSTRACT Human impact in the form of reservoir construction and river regulation downstream of reservoirs, is causing irreversible alterations to hillslope and river channel connectivity in river catchments. This disruption in the dynamic equilibrium of the river is attributed to sediment accumulation upstream of the reservoir's dam, limited sediment ...

Vibration Excitation and Control of a Pedestrian Walkway by Individuals and Crowds
Shock and Vibration, Volume 12, Issue 5, Page 333-347, 2005., 2005 As part of a continuing study on effects of humans on loading and dynamic response of footbridges, a steel frame walkway has been the subject of studies on the effects of multiple pedestrians with respect to loading and response mitigation. Following finite element modeling and experimental modal analysis to identify the low frequency vibration modes ...
