Pedestrian-Footbridge Dynamic Interaction: A Probabilistic Assessment of Vibration Serviceability [PDF]
Recent footbridges are characterized by long span, light materials and increasing slenderness, which make them more sensitive to dynamic forces induced by pedestrians.

Vibration response of long cable-stayed timber footbridge – case study [PDF]
Timber footbridges with a span larger than 30 meters are sensitive to vibrations and dynamic factors must therefore be taken into considerations in the design.

Dutch influence in the urban landscape of Cork City pre-1800: Fact or myth? [PDF]
The early years of the eighteenth century Irish port town, Cork saw an expansion of its city limits, an era of reconstruction both within and beyond the walls of its Medieval townscape and a reclamation of its marshlands to the east and west. New people,

Response of beam-to-column web cleated joints for FRP pultruded members [PDF]
Physical testing is used to characterize the structural properties of beam-to-column joints, comprising pultruded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) H-shapes of depth 203 mm, connected by 128 mm-long web cleats and two M16 bolts per leg. Testing is performed

Modal Testing Through Forced Sine Vibrations of a Timber Footbridge
The work aims at performing the dynamic modal identification of the long-span laminated timber footbridge built on the Marecchia River near Rimini, Italy. A first sine vibration test has been performed adopting a mechanical shaker just after the footbridge construction in 2000 in order to check the structural behavior that has been assumed in the ...

STUDY OF PEDESTRIAN-INDUCED VIBRATIONS ON TIMBER FOOTBRIDGESC
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 of timber structures only presents design requirements for static loads, in the case of timber ...
