  1. 1. Dynamic Assessment of Footbridges : A designer's method to estimate running induced vibrations

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Jones Södergren; Anton Barraza; [2018]
    Keywords : Footbridge Dynamics; Running; Load; Vibrations; Structural Dynamics; Human Structure Interaction; Dynamic Assessment; Acceleration;

    Abstract : Dynamic problems in footbridges, such as sensible vibrations caused by human induced loading, has on a number of occasions been observed. These vibrations are rarely an ultimate limit state problem, but can be perceived as unpleasant by the pedestrian. In design guidelines there are propositions for how to asses the dynamic problem.

  3. 2. Serviceability assessment of footbridges when subjected to vibrations induced by running pedestrians

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Javier Garmendia Purroy; [2017]
    Keywords : Footbridge; Running; Jogging; Load; Vibrations; Structural; Dynamics; Pedestrian footbridge interaction; Serviceability; Assessment; Gångbro; Löpning; Last; Vibrationer; Strukturdynamik; Bruksgränstillstånd; Bedömning;

    Abstract : Vibration serviceability in the design of footbridges is gathering enormous prominence as comfort restrictions get enhanced. Comfort verifications are often becoming critical when considering human induced dynamic loading on lightweight structures, which are increasing in slenderness and flexibility. READ MORE

  4. 3. Modelling Pedestrian-Induced Vertical Vibrations of Footbridges

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Emma Zäll; [2015]
    Keywords : Footbridge; Pedestrian-induced; Vertical vibrations; Pedestrian-footbridge interaction; Structural dynamics; Crowd simulations.;

    Abstract : A pedestrian crowd walking on a footbridge causes the footbridge to vibrate. These vibrations become an issue of serviceability and can give rise to discomfort for the pedestrians, whereby they should, to as large extent as possible, be prevented. READ MORE
