Abstract: The further development and improvement of prediction models for crowd-induced vibrations of footbridges requires detailed information on representative operational loading data. In this paper, an inverse method is used ...

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: 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 ...

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 ...
