  2. 1. Human-structure interaction effect on the dynamic response of footbridges : An analytical and experimental study

    Author : Daniel Colmenares; Raid Karoumi; Andreas Andersson; Federica Tubino; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; footbridges; dynamics; human induced loads; human structure interaction.; Bro- och stålbyggnad; Structural Engineering and Bridges;

    Abstract : Lightweight, slender and lightly damped footbridges are often susceptible to HumanInduced Loads (HILs) when pedestrian step frequencies coincide with the naturalfrequencies of the structure. For vertical vibrations, this can compromise the serviceabilitylimit state of the system. READ MORE

  4. 2. On the dynamics of footbridges : A theoretical approach and a comparison between running and walking loads

    Author : Daniel Colmenares; Raid Karoumi; Andreas Andersson; Mahir Ülker Kaustell; Pedro Museros Romero; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; footbridges; dynamics; human induced loads; human structure interaction; harmonic load; continuous beam; gångbroar; dynamik; fotgängarlast; samverkan mellan fotgängare och bro; harmonisk last; kontinuerlig balk.; Structural Engineering and Bridges; Bro- och stålbyggnad;

    Abstract : The dynamic behaviour of lightweight footbridges is often susceptible to HumanInduced Loads (HILs). Generally HILs are taken into account as moving harmonicfunctions in which the loading frequency represents the step frequency of the pedestrians. READ MORE
