Abstract: Takes the first footbridge with curved beam and inclined arch across the Pearl River, Guangzhou Haixin Bridge, as the research object, and systematically studies its human-induced vibration comfort and vibration control. The main arch span is 198 m with a sagittal-to-span ratio of 1/3.5. The bridge deck is 15 m wide in the middle of the span, and the bridge deck consists of circular fast and slow lanes. As the bridge is located in the high-density crowd area, and the structural system is flexible and complex in force, the problem of pedestrian comfort is prominent. A refined 3D finite element model is established to determine the sensitive frequency range of human-induced load through eigenvalue analysis, so that to find the modes sensitive to walking force and construct the corresponding expressions of walking forces. The evaluation of pedestrian comfort is completed by obtaining the corresponding peak acceleration threshold and comfort index through time domain analysis. A damping scheme is proposed to install tuned mass dampers to improve the comfort level of the bridge, and the installation position, damping, stiffness and mass of the dampers are optimized to improve the pedestrian comfort of the bridge effectively. The results of this paper can provide a reference for the evaluation of comfort level of pedestrian bridges of the same type.
