Abstract
The dynamic analysis of footbridges became common in recent years, but the approach to modelling pedestrian induced load is still inconsistent. This paper compares two different ways of modelling single pedestrian load. The response of the structure to stationary pulsating force is compared to the results given by the same force moving along simply supported beam. 300 randomly generated beams were used in this parametric study to describe the relation among these two approaches and parameters of the structure. The proposed formula was successfully applied to get more realistic estimation of response of the structure to a single walking pedestrian using stationary pulsating force.
