| Abstract: |
Pedestrian bridges, grandstands, and other long-span structures may be subjected to crowd loading. Crowds have the dual effect to produce large forces and alter the structure’s modal properties and damping. Vibration testing of full-scale structures allows the verification of the modelling assumptions and design criteria. This paper discusses the case study of a pedestrian bridge structure subjected to crowd loading. The results of the design finite element model of the bridge and the bridge performance were validated through field testing. The theoretical effects of crowds were analysed and compared to the experimental test data. |
