Pedestrian loading on flexible structures such as footbridges, grandstands and lightweight floors is an area, which is receiving significant attention from the research commu-nity of late. One of the key parameters in ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
