The use of advanced low-density high-strength materials, such as Fibre Reinforced
Polymers (FRPs) or aluminium alloys, has enabled to construct lightweight and slender …

Load models that account for Human-Structure Interaction (HSI) may be preferable to
accurately predict the dynamic response of lightweight footbridges subjected to pedestrian …

Featured Application Improvement of procedures for the vibration serviceability of
footbridges in the vertical direction by taking into account the presence of pedestrians as …

Large-span footbridges have low structural stiffness, light deadweight and small damping
and thus are prone to significant vibration under the wind-pedestrian coupling effect. Fast …

Low-damped lightweight footbridges usually present excessive human-induced vibrations.
Hence, several experimental and numerical studies have been conducted over the years to …

The comfort of pedestrians on a footbridge is a rather complex problem that has been
discussed for a long time. Vibration acceleration is generally accepted as the main …

360 papers that were presented at the Sixth International Conference on Structural …

This research work aims to investigate the dynamic structural behaviour and assess the
human comfort of footbridges, when subjected to pedestrian walking, based on experimental …
