Time-Frequency Analysis of Crowd Lateral Dynamic Forcing from Full-Scale Measurements on the Clifton Suspension Bridge
Pedestrian-induced vibrations have caused significant issues on various footbridges, over the past few decades, as it can lead to an abrupt growth in the amplitude of structural oscillations, i.e. lateral dyna...
