Increasing strength of new structural materials and longer spans of new footbridges,
accompanied with aesthetic requirements for greater slenderness, are resulting in more …

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 …

Accidents are preventable, but only if they are correctly described and understood. Since the
mid-1980s accidents have come to be seen as the consequence of complex interactions …

Fourteen years on from its last edition, Cable Supported Bridges: Concept and Design, Third
Edition, has been significantly updated with new material and brand new imagery …

The London Millennium Footbridge is located across the Thames River in Central London.
At its opening on June 10, 2000, the bridge experienced pedestrian-induced lateral …

In this paper, human–structure interaction system models for vibration in the vertical
direction are considered. This work assembles various moving load models from the …

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 …

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 …

Dynamic performance is an important consideration in long-span bridge design. Owing to its
flexibility and low dam**, various types of vibration from different sources of excitation …

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