Workshop – 1 July 2008Footbridge vibration design: worldwide experienceScopeStudies on dynamic behaviour of footbridges under pedestrian loads carried in the last years in many countries in Europe, Asia or America have matured and guidelines have started to be published. Since the last Footbridge 2005 conference in Venice footbridge designers seem to have a clear idea on how to tackle dynamic live loads. This workshop, coming as prelude to the “Footbridge 2008” conference will establish a state of the art of footbridge design strategies regarding dynamic excitation by pedestrians, with emphasis on practical applications.
The workshop aims to:
The proposed themes of the lectures on Footbridge Vibration Dynamic design are:
Each half day session comprises invited presentations. The morning session is devoted to codes and recommendations with case studies. The afternoon session is devoted to control systems and vibration absorbers with further case studies. An ample time will be allowed for questions and debate.
A general panel discussion will conclude the workshop.
The synopsis and conclusions of the two sessions will be presented during the session on dynamics at the Footbridge 2008 general conference.
Registration and proceedingsParticipants can register for the workshop alone or the workshop together with the three day conference directly on the FOOTBRIDGE 2008 registration on the website.
The workshop presentations will be included in a CD which will be distributed to participants.
