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 ...
Corrosion resistant reinforcement for sustainable bridges and underground structures.
(ICSECM, 2013-12)
Bridge decks and underground service structures are often exposed to extreme environmental conditions where structural damage due to corrosion is a common phenomenon. This results in reduced service life and expensive ...
Alternative reinforcement for lightly loaded concrete structures.
(AJBAS, 2013)
Traditionally, high yield steel has been the common method of providing reinforcement in
concrete, primarily due to its high tensile strength. However, steel is susceptible to corrosion,
particularly in aggressive ...
Development of a reusable learning object for use in teaching structural engineering.
(AIT, 2013)
Reusable learning objects may be considered to be pre-developed digital learning activities
that may be integrated into lessons, modules, and courses. Their advantages include their
flexibility of content, their accessibility ...
The impact of footwear on ground reaction forces and gait characteristics of walking pedestrians.
(SECED, 2019-09)
Vibration serviceability of lightweight and long-span structures is an area of research, which is attracting increasing attention in recent years. A common source of dynamic excitation in such structures is the interaction ...
Variations in vertical loading from walking due to surface vibration.
(Hemming Information Services, 2014-07)
Walking trials have been carried out on rigid and flexible walkways mounted with a force plate in order to determine how
vertical pedestrian loading is influence by these two walking platforms. This paper presents the ...
Ceramic waste sludge as a partial cement replacement.
(CERAI, 2014-08)
In this research study, waste ceramic sludge derived from orthopaedic implant mass finishing processes were employed as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in the partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement ...
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 ...
The influence of spatial parameters on pedestrian lateral loading.
(BCRI, 2012-09)
Dynamic loading from pedestrians walking on flexible structures such as footbridges is the subject of much
research at present. The interest is stimulated by several notable instances of uncomfortable perceptible vibrations ...
A parametric study of pedestrian vertical force models for dynamic analysis of footbridges.
(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 ...
