Vibration serviceability under crowd-induced loading has become a key design criterion for
footbridges. Although increased research efforts are put into the characterization of crowd …

Human activities and occupancy can induce excessive structural vibrations. Human-
structure interaction (HSI) can significantly affect responses. However, this phenomenon is …

Although the use of near‐surface mounted (NSM) fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)
reinforcement satisfactorily enhances the flexural capacity of deficient reinforced concrete …

The vibration serviceability assessment of footbridges under pedestrian traffic requires a
probabilistic approach considering the uncertainty in the dynamic behavior of the structure …

This paper investigates the effect of both stationary and walking people on vertical dynamic
characteristics of structures based on an experimental program. A lively lightweight bridge …

To comprehensively study the flexural behavior of RC beams strengthened by means of
near-surface mounted (NSM) technology, 142 simply supported concrete beams …

This article addresses the estimation of the effects of human-structure interaction on the
dynamic behaviour of slender structures. The paper proposes a method able to provide …

Serviceability issues related to lightweight pedestrian bridges have attracted a great deal of
attention in the literature since the London Millennium Bridge incident, which involved large …

For lightweight footbridges, there are evident vertical coupling effects among standing
pedestrians, moving pedestrians and the footbridge. To further clarify the vertical human …

A reliable pedestrian load model is a prerequisite for the accurate calculation of human-
induced structural vibration. In recent years, many researchers have proposed pedestrian …
