Influence of Pedestrian Number on Vibration Serviceability of Footbridge

Article Preview

Abstract:

In recent years, the problem of the human-induced bridge vibration has attracted more and more concerns. In this paper , a steel structure footbridge named Shuang'an East in Beijing was taken as the example to collect the whole bridge vibration data and build the finite element model with the finite element software. In addition, this research changes the limitation of considering the pedestrian load as a whole with a traffic flow simulation software, which is based on social force model, applying to reflect the pedestrians' locations during walking. Comparing the simulation data with the the measured data, the vibration serviceability of footbridge will decrease with the increasing of the number of the pedestrians. The analysis results will provide reference for the dynamic characteristic of similar structures.
