Vertical crowd load models for vibration serviceability assessment of footbridges
(Civil-Comp Press, 2009)Most pedestrian load models prescribed in existing design codes of practice do not consider any interaction between the pedestrian and the moving structure. However, it is now widely accepted that this interaction is ... -
The influence of selected gait parameters on vertical pedestrian loading.
(Dolnoslaskie Wydawnictwo Edukacyjne, 2011)Walking trials have been carried out on a rigid surface mounted with a force plate in order to determine the influence of selected gait parameters on vertical pedestrian loading. This paper presents the results of this ... -
Vibration serviceability considerations in footbridge design.
(UniMap/AIT, 2011-06)Modern footbridges are becoming more and more flexible as they are constructed lighter and more slender than ever before. This has led to a vibration serviceability issue with many footbridges, as they can become ‘lively’ ... -
Characteristic vertical response of a footbridge due to crowd loading.
(EuroDyn, 2011-07)The characteristic vertical vibration of a flexible footbridge subject to crowd loading is examined in this paper. Typically, bridge vibrations produced from a crowd of pedestrians are estimated by using an enhancement ... -
A parametric study of pedestrian vertical force models for dynamic analysis of footbridges.
(2011-10)Footbridge vibration has received much attention in recent years. However, stochastic models for crowd loading are not common, and estimation of crowd-induced vibration is typically done through enhancement factors applied ... -
The impact foot landing position (FLP) has on the simulation of medio-lateral pedestrian loading.
(Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), 2012-06-18)The issue of Medial-lateral loading from pedestrians has received increased attention from bridge designers and researchers since the London Millennium Bridge incidence 12 years ago where the bridge vibrated excessively ... -
The effect of clusters within crowds of pedestrians on the vertical response of a flexible footbridge.
(BCRI, 2012-09)The issue of excessive vibrations of footbridges due to the passage of pedestrians has been well documented in the past decade. Despite this there still remains great uncertainty as to how to predict the acceleration ... -
Nonlinear finite element of FRP reinforced concrete structures.
(BCRI, 2012-09)reinforcement is a non-corrosive alternative to steel and is gaining popularity for use in reinforced concrete structures exposed to corrosive environments. A major difference between the two reinforcing materials is their ... -
Measurement of time-dependent colour variation in concrete.
(BCRI, 2012-09)The phenomenon of colour variation in finished concrete has become a contentious issue in recent years as engineers and designers strive, not only for blemish free finishes, but crisp “white” concretes with uniformity ... -
The influence of spatial parameters on pedestrian lateral loading.
(BCRI, 2012-09)Dynamic loading from pedestrians walking on flexible structures such as footbridges is the subject of much research at present. The interest is stimulated by several notable instances of uncomfortable perceptible vibrations ... -
Development of a reusable learning object for use in teaching structural engineering.
(AIT, 2013)Reusable learning objects may be considered to be pre-developed digital learning activities that may be integrated into lessons, modules, and courses. Their advantages include their flexibility of content, their accessibility ... -
Corrosion resistant reinforcement for sustainable bridges and underground structures.
(ICSECM, 2013-12)Bridge decks and underground service structures are often exposed to extreme environmental conditions where structural damage due to corrosion is a common phenomenon. This results in reduced service life and expensive ... -
Variations in vertical loading from walking due to surface vibration.
(Hemming Information Services, 2014-07)Walking trials have been carried out on rigid and flexible walkways mounted with a force plate in order to determine how vertical pedestrian loading is influence by these two walking platforms. This paper presents the ... -
Ceramic waste sludge as a partial cement replacement.
(CERAI, 2014-08)In this research study, waste ceramic sludge derived from orthopaedic implant mass finishing processes were employed as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in the partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement ... -
Use of natural fibres to enhance tensile strength of concrete.
(ICBBM, 2017-06)This paper discusses the influence of natural fibres on density, compressive strength and flexural strength of fibre reinforced concrete specimens. Coir fibre extracted from coconut husk was added to high strength concrete ... -
Interaction between pedestrian loading and vibration response of a laboratory-scale FRP composite footbridge.
(Bridge Engineering Association, 2017-08)Pedestrian loading on flexible structures such as footbridges, grandstands and lightweight floors is an area, which is receiving significant attention from the research commu-nity of late. One of the key parameters in ... -
Design, construction and dynamic analysis of a laboratory-scale FRP composite footbridge.
(Technische Universität Berlin, 2017-09)Pedestrian loading on flexible structures such as footbridges, grandstands and lightweight floors is an area, which is receiving significant attention from the research community of late. Of particular interest is ... -
The impact of footwear on ground reaction forces and gait characteristics of walking pedestrians.
(SECED, 2019-09)Vibration serviceability of lightweight and long-span structures is an area of research, which is attracting increasing attention in recent years. A common source of dynamic excitation in such structures is the interaction ...
