Abstract

Vibrations in footbridges may be problematic as excessive vibrations may occur as a result of actions of pedestrians. Design-stage predictions of levels of footbridge vibration to the action of a pedestrian are useful and have been employed for many years based on a deterministic approach to modeling the action of a pedestrian. The paper employs a probability-based approach to modeling the action of a pedestrian by considering randomness in the behavior of the pedestrian crossing the footbridge. The paper describes the approach and studies implications (sensitivity) of selected decisions made when setting up the probabilistic framework for the predictions of footbridge response.
