Abstract:

This paper is a synthesis of experimental and theoretical investigations on dynamics of pedestrian bridges under vertical load. Finally, a simple procedure of investigation of dynamic response of a footbridge is presented. The subject is divided into three issues:

  1. A pedestrian as a vertical dynamic load on footbridges, vertical lock-in effect theoretic load function for walking and crouching.
  2. Crowd walking on a footbridge - pedestrian flow.
  3. Response of the footbridge – numeric and site test results,
    • deck vertical vibrations under vertical excitation,
    • deck lateral vibrations under vertical excitation,
    • cable stayed footbridge
    • vibrations of stays.

In the author’s opinion, the presented procedures for numeric analysis of footbridges are forceful and useful for estimating the dynamic character of a footbridge at the design stage.
