Evaluating the vertical vibration response of footbridges using a response spectrum approach

In this paper, the vertical vibration response of footbridges subjected to dynamic loads induced by walking humans is assessed via a response spectrum approach. The dynamic walking load in the vertical direction is applied on the bridges using two different loading schemes: (1) a stationary load at...
