Pilsen Footbridge Case Study Analysis and assessment of the behaviour of a dynamically sensitive footbridge Pedestrian load modelling to EN 1991-2 (Draft version) Optimisation and installation of a tuned mass damper for pedestrian comfort Pontex Consulting Engineers Ltd. used LUSAS Bridge to assist with its analysis and assessment of the dynamic behaviour of a slender decked, steel cable stayed bridge on behalf of the Roads and Motorways Directorate of the Czech Republic. Finite element analysis and dynamic loading tests showed that the structure was susceptible to pedestrian loading, and especially by vandalism, meaning that an energy dissipation device neededto be installed. After the design and installation of a tuned mass damper a second dynamic loading testwas carried out, proving the
