Pedestrian Timber Bridges: Experimental Investigation and Modelling

Article Preview

Abstract:

For a specific pedestrian timber link case study, the authors had the chance to collect measurements of the structural response for a period of a few days but with the chance to repeat the monitoring in different seasonal weather conditions. This paper provides a synthesis of the data collected up to now. A parallel numerical model was implemented accounting for different potential constitutive law of the timber components and different hypotheses on the supports behavior.
