Abstract: Vibration serviceability under crowd-induced loading has become a key design criterion for footbridges. Although increased research efforts are put into the characterization of crowd-induced loading, including related ...

Abstract: This article presents an evaluation of the dynamic behavior of a slender steel footbridge before and after the installation of two tuned mass dampers (TMDs). The results of the experimental study show that the damping ...

Abstract: Footbridges often have a lightweight and slender design. As a result, they tend to be susceptible to human-induced vibrations. In this paper, the application of the twin rotor damper (TRD), an active mass damper consisting ...
