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: The fate of nitrogen in the soil is of major concern because of the potential hazard for nitrogen, applied in excess of the natural decomposing capacity of the soil, to contaminate shallow and deep aquifers. For the ...

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 ...
