Load function walking pedestrian on the footbridge.

Load function walking pedestrian on the footbridge.

Abstract

Modern foot bridges are more and more sensitive to variable load created by moving pedestrians. These are several reasons for that. Quickly growing up road infrastructure forces us to build foot bridges just to reconnect one piece of land, separated now by the new road or railway. These bridges are lightweight because the only live load acting on them comes from pedestrians.The paper focuses on the definition of human induces dynamic load in the relation to body weight and the pacing rate of pedestrian.
