The presentation will focus on the dynamic performance of footbridges, with the finite element (FE) analysis method strongly supported by in-field experimental tests. Various dynamic aspects of footbridges will be discussed, including the influence of pedestrian loading, seismic factors, and other external influences. The presentation will also outline the methodology used for numerical analysis and provide details of the conducted field research. Results obtained from both numerical and experimental investigations will be compared and discussed for their alignment and practical engineering applicability. Ultimately, the presentation aims to provide a deeper understanding of the dynamic behaviour of footbridges, crucial for ensuring their safety and performance under various operating conditions.
