Parametric study regarding the influence of preliminary design parameters of a long-span timber footbridge on the human-induced dynamic behaviour

Dynamic behaviour often is a topic of concern in the design of pedestrian bridges. It is time-consuming to assess and little is known about the way it is influenced by the characteristics of a bridge. In many cases, a bridge needs testing after is has been finished to determine the specifications of a damper. <br/><br/>Striving to reduce the...
