The increasing use of timber structures worldwide has brought attention to the challenges
posed by their lightweight nature, making them more prone to vibrations than more massive …

Tuned mass dampers (TMDs) are used to control pedestrian induced vibrations of
pedestrian bridges as traditional vibration control devices. A TMD can have a good control …

Since the well-known Millennium bridge accident happened at the beginning of this century,
both researchers and engineers realized that the human-induced vibration may lead to …

The interaction between structures and walking humans is an important factor in vibration
serviceability assessment of slender, lightweight, and low-damping structures. When on …

The paper focuses on the optimal design of the grounded tuned mass damper inerter (TMDI)
in footbridges and on some practical implementation issues. An optimal design procedure is …

The vibration control of a cantilevered floor with tuned mass dampers (TMDs) was
investigated using dynamic testing and numerical simulation methods to better satisfy the …

Despite extensive research in the field of human-induced vibration in the last twenty years,
there is still lack of reliable load and response models to assess vibration serviceability of …

A reliable prediction of the human-induced vibrations of footbridges relies on an accurate
representation of the pedestrian excitation for different loading scenario. Particularly, the …

A major challenge in the vibration performance assessment of structures under crowd
jumping loads is the lack of efficient prediction models. With the challenge in mind, this study …

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