Study of pedestrian-induced vibrations on timber footbridges [PDF]
, 2014 In Brazil, studies about pedestrian-induced vibrations on footbridges have been carried out since the early 1990s, for concrete and steel footbridges. However, there is no record of such studies and the Brazilian Standard NBR 7190 (1997) for the design ...

ENVIRONMENTAL-FRIENDLY FOOTBRIDGE MADE OF CFRP, GFRP AND TIMBER
, 2013 It has been shown that in combination with new connecting elements, like pin loaded CFRP straps, it is possible to use glulam in highly stressed and dynamically loaded structures.

American Ethnologist, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 283-295, August 2026.Abstract Over the past two decades, gondola lifts have become central to interventions in urban Latin America's auto‐constructed peripheries. As cable car urbanism reshapes the city's edge, it raises fundamental questions about the notion of the “urban fabric” as a sociomaterial practice, an epistemology, and a site of politics.

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 ...

From private to public and back? Kyoto's cityscape councils and the urban commons
Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 31, Issue 1, Page 240-263, March 2025.Abstract Scholarly and public debate on the urban commons is burgeoning, but building exteriors and the cityscape these constitute are surprisingly absent from it, despite their considerable significance for and impact on residents and visitors. After reflecting on the cityscape as a commons, the article turns to Kyoto, the former capital of Japan and ...

Benchmark footbridge for vibration serviceability assessment under vertical component of pedestrian load [PDF]
, 2012 Vibration serviceability criteria are governing the design and determining the cost of modern, slender footbridges. Efficient and reliable evaluation of dynamic performance of these structures usually requires a detailed insight into the structural ...

Structural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Displacements are among the most important engineering response parameters to be monitored during shake‐table testing, with experiments playing a key role in studying the seismic behavior of structures. However, their accurate measurement is not a trivial task when using contact sensors.

Structural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.Due to its simple and beautiful architectural appearance, the stress‐ribbon bridge (SRB) has been gradually built around the world as a pedestrian or traffic bridge. However, as characterized by low bending stiffness and low damping ratio features, SRB is prone to the dynamic effects of external excitations, such as pedestrians, vehicles, and/or winds.
