Abstract:Long-span curved footbridges usually have a relatively low fundamental frequency of structure, making it difficult to optimize the fundamental frequency through structural adjustment, which leads to particularly prominent human-induced vibration problems. Taking a long-span curved steel structure footbridge in a certain city as an example, the author used spatial finite element design software and combined domestic and international footbridge comfort level evaluation standards. Under the specified crowd load excitation, the peak acceleration response results of the bridge before and after the installation of TMDs(tuned mass dampers) were compared and analyzed, and the comfort level was classified according to different domestic and international evaluation standards. Research shows that under certain cost control constraints, choosing appropriate damper parameters and layout positions can significantly reduce the peak vibration acceleration and effectively improve pedestrian comfort. This approach can provide good reference value for the vibration reduction design of similar long-span curved footbridges and also verifies the applicability of the revised domestic footbridge standards.
