Preliminary characterisation of natural fibres for enhancement of concrete
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2018-04-24)
Reinforced concrete with steel is one of the most used construction materials in the world. The addition of short bio-based fibres into the concrete mixture for the production of elements lightly loaded can avoid concrete ...
The relationship between pedestrian loading and dynamic response of an FRP composite footbridge.
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
Pedestrian loading on flexible structures such as footbridges, grandstands and lightweight floors is an area, which is receiving significant attention from the research community of late. One of the key parameters in ...
Material testing, design & construction of a laboratory-scale FRP composite.
(ACIC, 2017-09)
Pedestrian loading on flexible structures such as footbridges, grandstands and lightweight floors is an area, which is receiving significant attention from the research community of late. One of the key parameters in ...
Interactive horizontal load model for pedestrians crossing footbridges.
(Taylor & Francis, 2007-02-16)
In recent years several theories have been put forward in relation to lateral forces
imparted on bridges from crowd movements. It is now widely accepted that the
interaction between the crowd and the structure, particularly ...
Lateral loads applied by pedestrians at normal walking velocities.
(Taylor & Francis, 2011)
The issue of horizontal loading from pedestrians has received increased attention from bridge designers and researchers
in the past decade, primarily due to notable instances of excessive vibration of structures subjected ...
Transient response simulation of a composite material footbridge to crossing pedestrians.
(CRC Press, 2003)
Loads applied by pedestrians, and crowds of pedestrians, are particularly important for footbridges with natural frequencies close to footfall frequencies of moving pedestrians. Recorded response data from Aberfeldy Bridge, ...
Vertical crowd load models for vibration serviceability assessment of footbridges
(Civil-Comp Press, 2009)
Most pedestrian load models prescribed in existing design codes of practice do not
consider any interaction between the pedestrian and the moving structure. However,
it is now widely accepted that this interaction is ...
Identification of damage in steel beams using frequency response changes.
(AJBAS, 2013)
The issue of structural condition monitoring is becoming increasingly important as the Ireland’s and the world’s civil engineering infrastructure ages. An efficient monitoring process is essential as part of a modern ...
The influence of selected gait parameters on vertical pedestrian loading.
(Dolnoslaskie Wydawnictwo Edukacyjne, 2011)
Walking trials have been carried out on a rigid surface mounted with a force plate in order to determine the influence of
selected gait parameters on vertical pedestrian loading. This paper presents the results of this ...
Modelling the vertical loads applied by pedestrians at a range of walking velocities.
(AJBAS, 2013)
Over the past half century numerous high profile bridges such as the Brooklyn Bridge, the London Millennium Bridge, and the Auckland Harbour Bridge have been subject to pedestrian induced vibrations due to walking. In this ...
