The paper concludes that the use of finite element analysis can lead to more efficient, cost-effective footbridge designs and that its use is just as valid for lowcost practical footbridges as it is for the design of more technically advanced and expensive iconic structures.P. Icke...
Building a footbridge model for linear analysis (9:08) Model building using point and line features, creation and assignment of geometric and material properties, meshing, gravity loading and supports. (Version 15.2) Progressing the footbridge model for linear dynamics (6:23) Setting of eigenvalue...
Choosing optimal capacity and arrangement increase the plant's efficiency and reduces the overall system costs. In this method, according to the geographical location and type of site construction, e.g., on the ceiling of the footbridge, shadow analysis, and the calculations regards to the number...
The paper takes a steel truss footbridge with 100 meters' span as the example to introduce the process of the analysis of pedestrian-induced vibration. Through the finite element software of Midas Civil, the pedestrian-induced incentive on the footbridge caused by the stochastic walk situation and...
design proceduresexample of footbridgeIncreased deformability can be considered as the basic disadvantage of suspension bridges. One of the ways to increase the rigidity of a suspension bridge is to transfer a part of stiffening girder rigidity to a suspension main cable. To give the suspension ...
This article describes the research work involving the analysis and control of a flexible stress-ribbon footbridge located at the campus of Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto (FEUP). This structure has several natural frequencies around 2Hz which makes it vulnerable to the occurrence of ...
As the core component of a swivel bridge, the spherical hinge structure exhibits complex mechanical behavior under high pressure, making it challenging to describe accurately through theoretical analysis or on-site monitoring. In this context, this paper
This model was used for the calibration of results, obtained based on the footbridge experimental monitoring. Finally, a human comfort assessment was performed, based on the comparisons between the results (peak accelerations), of the dynamic experimental monitoring and the recommendations provided by ...
The WAAM technology has been successfully used for the construction of the 3D printed footbridge [5], [6], as shown in Fig. 1. The successful implementation of the 3D printed bridge demonstrated the significant potential of metal 3D technology as an alternative construction method in the building...
Due to the unique structural form of the large-span double-connected structure, the Spatial large-span corridor connecting the two sides of the main body will assume a function similar to that of a footbridge. However, there are few studies on the dynamic response of structures under coupled ...
