Characteristic vertical response of a footbridge due to crowd loading.
Caprani, Colin C.; Keogh, Joseph; Archbold, Paul; Fanning, Paul (EuroDyn, 2011-07)The characteristic vertical vibration of a flexible footbridge subject to crowd loading is examined in this paper. Typically, bridge vibrations produced from a crowd of pedestrians are estimated by using an enhancement ... -
Enhancement factors for the vertical response of footbridges subjected to stochastic crowd loading.
Caprani, Colin, C.; Keogh, Joseph; Archbold, Paul; Fanning, Paul (Elsevier, 2012-07)The vertical acceleration response of a hypothetical footbridge is predicted for a sample of single pedestrians and a crowd of pedestrians using a probabilistic approach. This approach uses statistical distributions to ... -
A parametric study of pedestrian vertical force models for dynamic analysis of footbridges.
Archbold, Paul; Keogh, Joseph; Caprani, Colin C.; Fanning, Paul (2011-10)Footbridge vibration has received much attention in recent years. However, stochastic models for crowd loading are not common, and estimation of crowd-induced vibration is typically done through enhancement factors applied ...
