Abstract Pedestrian-induced footbridge vibration comfort level is a complex problem that has been studied for long time. However, no consensus reached on quantitative calculation index assessing level. Only simple limits, rather than specific relationships between and the endurance capacity of pedestrians, are currently available footbridges. This article aims to propose sensitivity model pedes...
