Serviceability problem and human-induced vibration control of slender footbridges are of
increasing interest to structural engineers. Passive tuned mass dampers (TMDs) have a …

In the present paper, a detailed crowd model is applied to investigate the impact of vertical
human-structure interaction (HSI) on the dynamic response of footbridges to pedestrian …

An analytical expression for the frequency response function of a coupled pedestrian-bridge
system is presented and evaluated using an experimental measurement campaign …

For engineering applications, human comfort in the built environment depends on several
objective aspects that can be mathematically controlled and limited to reference …

For decades, the vibration performance of pedestrian structures, like footbridges and floors,
has attracted the attention of researchers. According to the literature, specific vibration …

In recent years, the interest for the automatic evaluation of the state of civil structures is
increased. The development of Structural Health Monitoring is allowed by the low costs of …

Human activities and occupancy can induce excessive structural vibrations. Human-
structure interaction (HSI) can significantly affect responses. However, this phenomenon is …

The vibration performance of pedestrian structures attracts the attention of several studies,
especially with respect to unfavorable operational conditions or possible damage scenarios …

This article presents an evaluation of the dynamic behavior of a slender steel footbridge
before and after the installation of two tuned mass dampers (TMDs). The results of the …

The effect of human-structure interaction in the vertical direction for footbridges is studied
based on a probabilistic approach. The bridge is modeled as a continuous dynamic system …
