Abstract

We analyze and compare different dynamic load models used for the verification of vibration serviceability of footbridges. The considered models predict the acceleration response of the bridge for random streams of pedestrians as well as for deterministic group of walking or running pedestrians. The analysis is carried out in the context of a model steel-concrete composite bridge. Both moving and stationary loads are studied.
