DYNAMICC ACTION OF
PEDESTRIANS
• 95% walk at a frequency between 1,6 and
2,4 Hz and 50% between 1.9 and 2.1 Hz
• Above 5 Hz, vertical modes are unlikely to
be excited
• The periodic lateral force has a frequency
equal to half of the vertical excitation

CROWD LOADS
• The regulations and standards do not clearly
define crowd loads but rather the resulting
effects.
• A group of pedestrian walk in a Gaussian
distribution phase
amax,n = n amax
– Crowd loading ()
23
New rules required
Different levels of regulations :
1. Forbid certain frequency range.
2. Calculations and verifications within these
intervals.
3. When comfort criteria is not respected, take into
account the possible pedestrian traffic on the
footbridge.
4. In case of proven discomfort, provide the
possibility to add dampers .
5. The self-excited lateral response of footbridges
due synchronised pedestrian loading
24
Vertical direction
• Footfall forces can induce excessive vibration in
bridges having vertical frequencies between 1.5Hz
to 2.5Hz.
25
Lateral direction
• Any bridge with a lateral mode of natural frequency below
1.3Hz is potentially susceptible to excessive lateral
vibration. There is no lower frequency cut-off.

and synchronisation seems to start.

Calculation procedure for pedestrian
bridges
• Choice of the footbridge class.
• Comfort level to attain.
• Calculation of frequencies and the need to calculate acceleration.
• For each mode, if the acceleration must be calculated :
– Load cases definition : ( Value, positionning, synchronisation,
SLS,ULS),
– Damping required
– Acceleration values
– Check with comfort value and lock-in effects
– Structural modification or additional damping
– Tests on built bridge
