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 ...

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 ...

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.

River Research and Applications, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 1343-1362, September 2024.Abstract Steep mountain environments are typically characterized by high sediment production. In the case of high hillslope–channel connectivity, high production and intensive transport of sediments are problematic and can cause damage in inhabited areas.

Steel and composite bridges – Enabling sustainable solutions
Steel Construction, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 1-10, February 2024.Abstract Sustainable bridges are characterised by three main aspects: saving resources by an efficient construction, allowing for a lifelong use of bridges by optimal detailing in view of fatigue and flexible design concepts for strengthening and adapting to changed user requirements.

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.

Vibrational performance of pedestrian bridges due to human-induced loads. [PDF]
, 1997 The vibrational performance of footbridges due to human-induced loads has been investigated, based on modal and pedestrian tests carried out on three prototype footbridges.

The Timber-Precast UHPC Composite Connection
, 2018 This paper deals with the connection of timber beams and precast concrete slabs. The connection of timber and concrete has many advantages associated with the efficient use of both materials, not only in terms of their stress.

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 ...
