A Stability Criterion Model of Flexible Footbridges under Crowd-Induced Vertical Excitation
The excessive vibration caused by crowds walking across footbridges has attracted great public concerns in the past few decades. This paper presents, from considering the dynamic characteristics of the bipedal crowd model, a new stability limit criterion based on the bipedal excitation model. The stability limit can be used to estimate the upper boundary of crowd size. In addition, the dynamic ...
متن کاملCrowd dynamics on a moving platform: Mathematical modelling and application to lively footbridges
This paper proposes a mathematical model and a computational approach to study the complex multiphysical non linear coupled system that results from the interaction between a moving platform and the pedestrians who walk on it. The described method is based on the mathematical and numerical decomposition of the coupled system into two subsystems and on the two-way interaction between them. In pa...
متن کاملDynamic Analysis of Suspension Footbridges Using an Actual Pedestrian Load Model Compared with EUR23984 EN Requirements
The suspension footbridges are very flexible due to their geometrical structure; hence they may face severe vibration problems induced mainly by natural forces and pedestrians crossing. By exceeding a certain limit, these vibrations can disturb the serviceability of the bridge as well as health and safety of the structure and pedestrians. Therefore, standard design guidelines are sets of recomm...
متن کاملA transformable tensegrity-ring footbridge
Tensegrity structures are spatial reticulated structures composed of cables and struts. A tensioncompression equilibrium leads to lightweight systems that change shape through length changes in their members. Active members thus control several degrees of freedom simultaneously. Tensegrityring modules are transformable circuit-pattern modules. The linear combination of tensegrity rings has been...
متن کاملAmbient vibration testing and structural evaluation of an historic suspension footbridge
The paper summarises the ambient vibration-based assessment of an historic suspension footbridge, dating back to 1928. The footbridge is characterised by the timber floor system supported by two couples of cables, that were recently replaced. After the retrofit, the actual structural behaviour of the bridge were assessed by experimental and theoretical methods. The field tests included geometri...
