During this session, steel composite footbridge Morava project will be presented. The structure will be described with interesting remarks from the assembly. Practical experience on how to design footbridges that are sensitive to the load imposed by pedestrians will be shared. After this session, bridge engineers will understand more deeply how to deal effectively with dynamically loaded bridges.
Key Points : Theory and practical experience with dynamic analysis on steel bridges with focus on
1. Conversion loads to masses
2. Eigenvalue analysis
3. Limits for comfort of the pedestrians
4. Dynamic forces induced by humans
5. Damping
6. Time history analysis – crowded
7. Harmonic analysis
8. Interpretation of the results and comparison with testing
