title = "Footbridge Vibrations and Modelling of Pedestrian Loads",
abstract = "Vibrations in footbridges can be annoying and hence it is useful already at the design stage to be able to predict levels of footbridge vibrations in order to ensure that serviceability-limit-state requirements will be fulfilled. For the studies of the paper footbridge vibrations are assumed brought about by pedestrians. Walking parameters such as load amplification factors, pacing frequency, pacing speed, and pedestrian weight determine the characteristics of the loading. By nature, these parameters are stochastic and hence the studies of this paper will handle some of the walking parameters as random variables. This has the effect that predictions of footbridge vibration levels end up being random variables. The paper will consider and examine how selected decisions related to setting up the calculation framework can influence the outcome of design stage predictions of footbridge vibration levels.",
