This paper deals with the design and development of a multi-frequency adaptive tuned mass
damper based on a cantilever beam equipped with shunted piezoelectric elements. It is …

Many typical footbridges are designed as slender structures to highlight their aesthetic
characteristic. As these bridges can be highly susceptible to pedestrian-induced excitations …

This paper aims to provide a novel insight into the influence of uncertainties in system-and
pedestrian-induced load parameters on the vibration response of footbridges. The study …

Cable-stayed footbridges exhibit significant flexibility and lightweight leading to vibration
prone structures. Safety and comfort of the pedestrians crossing the bridge are guaranteed …

This study deals with the optimisation of pendulum tuned mass damper parameters for
different types of excitations and responses of the host structure to which it is attached. The …

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 …

Slender steel footbridges suffer excessive human-induced vibrations due to their low
damping nature and their frequency being located in the range of human-induced …

Cable stayed footbridges have appealing aesthetics but they are flexible and slender and
these properties result in vibrational prone structures. Its design is governed by dynamic …

Large-span footbridges have low structural stiffness, light deadweight and small damping
and thus are prone to significant vibration under the wind-pedestrian coupling effect. Fast …

An investigation of the dynamic behavior of a footbridge located at Jordan University of
Science and Technology, Irbid, Jordan, is presented in this paper. The work includes the …
