paper offers a general overview of the current practice for the vibration analysis of footbridges. 1 Background According to the AASHTO LRFD Guide Specifications for the Design of Pedestrian Bridges [1], pedestrian-induced vertical vibrations are negligible when the fundamental frequency in a vertical mode of the bridge is greater than 3.0 Hz.
DetailsThe bridge crane model system is composed of two main parts (Fig. 2) which are the moving system (the trolley) and the framework (structure).This example will serve to illustrate the method. We consider that the beam portion of the crane was simply supported and that it can be modelled adequately using the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory.

DetailsThe purpose of this paper is to study the dynamic response of a cable‐stayed bridge to a vehicle moving across rough bridge decks. The vehicle was simulated by a nonlinear vehicle model with seven degrees of freedom according to the HS20‐44 truck. The cable‐stayed bridge was modeled as a planar bar system.
DetailsWhen the bridge structure does not have loads passing on it, the vibrations that occur come from earth/microseismic vibrations, vibrations due to wind and surroundings. The maximum acceleration of vibration when there is no train passing is very small, namely 0.003751 g in the x direction (east–west), 0.001450 g in the y direction (north ...

DetailsApplied Mechanics and Materials, 2015. Nowadays, vehicle-induced vibration is a subject matter interest in the bridge monitoring field. As compared to other types of excitation such as earthquake and accidental impact, the vehicle-induced vibration is often being less considered during the design process of the bridge.
DetailsThe typical wind-induced vibrations of bridge structures include flutter (Zhang et al, 2021), galloping (Yu et al, 2022a), buffeting (Cui et al, 2022), and vortex-induced vibration (VIV) (Ge et al, 2022). These vibrations generally can be mitigated or eliminated through modifications to the aerodynamic shape of the bridge, known as aerodynamic ...

As addition, field vibration testing is another method that has been preferred lately in vibration-based methods to complement numerical computation results from FE bridge model. The recent preferences on ...

DetailsCompared to vertical vibration, people are known to be much more sensitive to lateral vibrations. If a person walks on a laterally vibrating bridge, he or she will try to compensate by swaying with the bridge displacement for stability. This adjustment is accompanied by an intuitive adaptation of the walking frequency and a widened gait.
