Abstract:	In the paper results of dynamic in-situ tests of six medium span steel footbridges are presented. The dynamic response of tested footbridges under human excitation (running and jumping) as well as dynamic characteristics of the footbridges are given and discussed. Furthermore, the case of the influence of slow running users (jogging users) on comfort of use of medium span steel footbridges and evaluation of vibration comfort criteria of the footbridges are presented.
Keywords:	footbridge comfort criteria vibrations damping dynamics response running
