Abstract: Pedestrian-induced loads may cause vibration serviceability or safety issues in slender structures such as long-span floors and footbridges. Although some models for crowd walking loads have been established, the synchronization ...

Abstract: Crowd walking is a common daily activity that can cause large vibrations on slender structures such as footbridges and long-span floors. Although modeling of crowd walking loads is critical in structural response prediction, ...

Abstract: Intensive vibrations may occur in slender structures like footbridges and long-span floors due to movement of pedestrians. Problems are usually treated in the time domain as Fourier series models of the forcing function, ...
