Abstract: This paper proposes a generalized equivalent spectral model of pedestrian-induced forces on footbridges that can be applied in serviceability analysis, from unrestricted traffic to crowded conditions. The model is based ...

Abstract: This article describes the results of extensive full-scale experiments carried out on two lively footbridges recently built in Milan, Italy. The objective of the study was to assess the dynamic characteristics of the bridges ...

Abstract: The modeling and simulation of the wind field along structures is a fundamental step in the analysis of their wind-excited response. The proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) provides efficient tools to formulate a model ...

Abstract: This paper studies the propagation of uncertainties on serviceability assessment of footbridges in unrestricted traffic condition based on a nondeterministic approach. Multipedestrian loading is modeled as a stationary ...

Abstract: AbstractAntenna masts are highly susceptible to dynamic wind loads and the presence of ancillaries has been documented to significantly affect the forces experienced by the mast. This paper describes the data set used and ...

Abstract: The vibration serviceability assessment of footbridges under pedestrian traffic requires a probabilistic approach considering the uncertainty in the dynamic behavior of the structure and the variability of multiple load ...
