description This paper presents a comprehensive study on dynamic properties and human-induced vibrations of a slender asymmetric steel-plated stress-ribbon footbridge via both experimental and analytical methods. Bridge modal test was conducted using both ambient vibration testing and impact methods. Modal properties of the bridge were identified based on stochastic subspace identification and peak-pick techniques. Results show that the bridge is characterized by closely spaced modes with low natural frequencies and small damping ratios (<0.002). A sophisticated finite element model that incorporates pretension of the stress ribbon and contribution of deck panels is developed and proven to be capable of reflecting the main dynamic characteristics of the bridge. Human-induced vibrations were measured considering synchronization cases, including single-person and small group walking as well as random walking cases. A theoretical model that takes into account human-structure interaction was developed, treating the single walking person as an SDOF system with biomechanical excited force. The validity of the model was further verified by measurement results.
