This paper presents the dynamic assessment of a footbridge located in Kraków, southern Poland. The structure is a steel-concrete composite bridge, with the steel section designed as a spatially variable truss. While the footbridge is not classified as a slender and lightweight type, several interesting aspects were identified during in-field tests. For this study, a set of dynamic identification techniques was employed. As a reference solution, a modal model obtained using the Least Squares Complex Exponential (LSCE) method was selected, against which various solutions were compared. Subsequently, numerical analysis was conducted using the ABAQUS/Standard software, leading to the development of an experimentally validated FE model of the footbridge. In the final stage, the bridge’s response and sensitivity to different types of pedestrian-induced loadings were examined. Based on the step-by-step investigations, a set of key conclusions was formulated.

摘要

This paper presents the dynamic assessment of a footbridge located in Kraków, southern Poland. The structure is a steel-concrete composite bridge, with the steel section designed as a spatially variable truss. While the footbridge is not classified as a slender and lightweight type, several interesting aspects were identified during in-field tests. For this study, a set of dynamic identification techniques was employed. As a reference solution, a modal model obtained using the Least Squares Complex Exponential (LSCE) method was selected, against which various solutions were compared. Subsequently, numerical analysis was conducted using the ABAQUS/Standard software, leading to the development of an experimentally validated FE model of the footbridge. In the final stage, the bridge’s response and sensitivity to different types of pedestrian-induced loadings were examined. Based on the step-by-step investigations, a set of key conclusions was formulated.
