Vibration Influence on Structural Perspectives According to Pedestrian Traffic Type of Pedestrian Bridge

Abstract

The vibration acceleration response and excellent frequency generated by pedestrian’s walking type of the steel composite wooden bridge were measured and analyzed. Based on the modified Reiher-Meister vibration curve, vibration influence evaluation on the structural perspectives of the pedestrian bridge was performed. The pedestrian’s walking types were divided into walking, running, rolling, and shaking, and eight experimental cases were set up by combining them with the number of users and moving direction. A total of 37 measurements were made. To evaluate the vibration serviceability of pedestrian bridges, the pedestrian’s walking type must be considered, and a standardized study on the pedestrian’s walking type will be necessary in the future.
