Effect of Vinyl Flooring on the Modal Properties of a Steel Footbridge
(MDPI AG, 2019-04)
Damping ratios associated with non structural elements play an important role in mitigating the pedestrian-induced vibrations of slender footbridges. In particular, this paper analyses the effect of vinyl flooring on the ...

Analysis and Diagnosis of the Church of Santiago in Jerez de la Frontera (Spain)
(IETcc-CSIC, 2015)
The church of Santiago (Jerez de la Frontera, Spain) has its origin in a small chapel built in the XIII century. Three naves added in the XV century gave rise to the current temple. The church has been modified along the ...

MWCNT/epoxy strip-like sensors for buckling detection in beam-like structures
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
Buckling of slender structures constitutes a hazardous failure mechanism that can yield partial or total collapses. Nonetheless, given that buckling failure is characterized by a highly non-linear and sudden loss of ...

A direct pedestrian-structure interaction model to characterize the human induced vibrations on slender footbridges
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CSIC: Instituto Eduardo Torroja, 2014)
Although the scientific community had knowledge of the human induced vibration problems in structures since the end of the 19th century, it was not until the occurrence of the vibration phenomenon happened in the Millennium ...

A crowd-structure interaction model to analyze the lateral lock-in phenomenon on footbridges
(WIT Press, 2018)
In this paper a simplified biomechanical crowd-structure interaction model is proposed and validated in order to analyse the lateral lock-in phenomenon on real footbridges. The proposed crowd-structure interaction model ...
