Vibration Influence on the Pedestrians’ Perspectives According to Pedestrian Traffic Type of Pedestrian Bridge

Abstract

The existing vibration serviceability evaluation of bridges focused on the structure. To evaluate vibration serviceability from a user perspective, vibration level felt by pedestrians was surveyed in a steel composite wooden bridge and analyzed to present the vibration serviceability evaluation method felt by the pedestrian. Such vibration was classified according to the walking type using the modified Reiher-Meister vibration curve, the existing evaluation method, and rolling up and down and rolling left and right in place were the most overestimated. As vibration is influenced by individuals, additional research is needed.
