Assessment of Serviceability of the Footbridge Across Opatovska Street

Abstract:

This paper is focused on the assessment of serviceability of the footbridge structure, which has been excited by pedestrians and vandals. The three dimensional FE model of the footbridge structure was created for the necessities of theoretical modal analysis. Computed mode shapes and natural frequencies were subsequently used for the forced vibration analysis as an input files into MATLAB code. Results obtained by the theoretical analysis were compared with the experimental results. At the end of this paper, the comfort criterion of crossing pedestrians has been evaluated.
