Dynamic forces induced by humans walking change simultaneously in time and space,
being random in nature and varying considerably not only between different people but also …

The earliest scientific descriptions of excessive pedestrian-induced lateral vibrations are
dated back to the 1970s, but it was not until the beginning of the new millennium that bridge …

Contemporary footbridges are often designed as slender structures and tend to be
susceptible to human induced vibrations. Codes of practice have been developed enabling …

Realistic simulation of the dynamic effects of walking pedestrians on structures is still a
considerable challenge. This is mainly due to the inter‐and intrasubject variability of humans …

On its opening day, the London Millennium Bridge (LMB) experienced unexpected large
amplitude lateral vibrations due to crowd loading. This form of pedestrian–structure …

The pedestrian-induced instability of the London Millennium Bridge is a widely used
example of Kuramoto synchronisation. Yet, reviewing observational, experimental, and …

The pedestrian–bridge dynamic interaction problem based on bipedal walking model and
damped compliant legs is presented in this work. A time-variant damper is modeled at a …

Vibration serviceability criteria are governing the design and determining the cost of modern,
slender footbridges. Efficient and reliable evaluation of dynamic performance of these …

The research into modeling walking-induced dynamic loading and its effects on footbridge
structures and people using them has been intensified in the past decade after some high …

Interaction of walking people with vibrating structures is known to be an important yet
challenging phenomenon to simulate. Despite of its considerable effects on the structural …
