Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of structural test research, and in particular to a laboratory simulation method for the interaction between humans and flexible structures. Background Art
[0002] As bridge structures evolve, their aesthetic appeal increases, while their stiffness and damping decrease. This makes bridges more sensitive to external loads, particularly pedestrian loads. When people walk on flexible bridges, they exert loads on the structure, which in turn exerts loads on the pedestrians. People automatically adjust their speed and acceleration to accommodate the flexible structure. For bridge structures, pedestrian loads primarily impact vertical, lateral, and torsional forces, while the longitudinal effects of pedestrian loads have minimal impact.
[0003] Human-induced vibration event: On the opening day of the London Millennium Bridge, about 2,000 people walked on the bridge at the same time. As a large number of pedestrians passed through the Millennium Bridge, vertical vibrations were generated and significant lateral vibrations also occurred.
[0004] The interaction between people and bridges is mainly reflected in two aspects: first, the impact of pedestrians on bridges: Since the human body itself has a certain damping, when pedestrians are on the bridge, the human body is equivalent to a small damper, which can affect the damping of the structure to a certain extent and thus affect the dynamic characteristics of the bridge; second, the impact of the bridge on people: pedestrian loads are more random, and people have less inertia. People will adjust their own shape according to the external environment to maintain body stability and comfort. Flexible bridges will produce horizontal and vertical vibrations under the action of loads, and pedestrians will spontaneously adjust their body swing and step frequency according to the vibration frequency of the bridge to adapt to the bridge.
[0005] Previous research: Harper used force plates to measure the vertical and horizontal forces generated by a single person's normal stride. Previous studies have primarily measured pedestrian loads by having pedestrians pass over structures in various ways, or by measuring pedestrian loads on rigid surfaces. These methods are labor-intensive and inconvenient, or fail to account for the interaction between pedestrians and bridges, or the stiffness of the structure, resulting in data that deviates from the actual response of pedestrians and structures.
