Characteristic vertical response of a footbridge due to crowd loading.
(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 ...
The effect of clusters within crowds of pedestrians on the vertical response of a flexible footbridge.
(BCRI, 2012-09)
The issue of excessive vibrations of footbridges due to the passage of pedestrians has been well documented in the
past decade. Despite this there still remains great uncertainty as to how to predict the acceleration ...
The impact foot landing position (FLP) has on the simulation of medio-lateral pedestrian loading.
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)
The issue of Medial-lateral loading from pedestrians has received increased attention from bridge designers and researchers since the London Millennium Bridge incidence 12 years ago where the bridge vibrated excessively ...
Evaluation of corrosion-resistant basalt-fiber-reinforced polymer bars and carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer grid reinforcement to replace steel in precast concrete underground utility vaults.
(Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute, 2016-09)
Underground utility vaults are widely used to house
utilities and are conventionally designed using steel
reinforcement. These structures are often designed
with thicker cover concrete in an attempt to prevent the
corrosion ...
Nonlinear finite element of FRP reinforced concrete structures.
(BCRI, 2012-09)
reinforcement is a non-corrosive alternative to steel and is gaining popularity for use in reinforced concrete
structures exposed to corrosive environments. A major difference between the two reinforcing materials is their ...
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 ...
Design, construction and dynamic analysis of a laboratory-scale FRP composite footbridge.
(Technische Universität Berlin, 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. Of particular interest is ...
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 ...
Enhancement factors for the vertical response of footbridges subjected to stochastic crowd loading.
(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 ...
Characterisation of natural fibres for enhancement of concrete properties.
(OJS/PKP, 2019-06)
The use of fibres as reinforcement of composites is widely applicable for mechanical, materials and construction sectors. For instance, most of those fibres are not produced from renewable sources or by ecological procedures ...
