Enhancement factors for the vertical response of footbridges subjected to stochastic crowd loading.

Caprani, Colin, C.; Keogh, Joseph; Archbold, Paul; Fanning, Paul (Elsevier, 2012-07)

The vertical acceleration response of a hypothetical footbridge is predicted for a sample of single pedestrians and a crowd of pedestrians using a probabilistic approach. This approach uses statistical distributions to ...
