Abstract
This paper studies the design method for the dynamic scale model of a pedestrian footbridge. A typical pedestrian footbridge was taken as the prototype. The actual structural properties and dynamic mechanics theoretical analysis based on the dynamic similarity theory for the scaled test model was used so as to deduce structurally similar ratio parameters in the scale model. Then, combined with the practical feasibility, the model is designed and produced. Compared with the dynamic field test, the finite element method analysis shows that the dynamic properties of the scaled model are very similar to the actual prototype. This designed scale model can satisfy the study on the dynamic response of pedestrian footbridges under pedestrian loads or ambient excitation. This design method for the dynamic scale model of pedestrian footbridges supplies a new approach for the study on vibration serviceability of pedestrian footbridges.
