Quantification of Dynamic Excitation Potential of Pedestrian Population Crossing Footbridges

Due to their slenderness, many modern footbridges may vibrate significantly under pedestrian traffic. Consequently, the vibration serviceability of these structures under human-induced dynamic loading is becoming their governing design criterion. Many current vibration serviceability design guidelin...
