Red Gate Pedestrian Bridge Case Study Novel cable stayed pedestrian/cycle bridge suspended beneath road bridge Detailed global modelling of bridge and local modeling of cable connection assembly Pedestrian footfall analysis to ascertain maximum acceleration values for comparison with pedestrian comfort levels. US consultant, Benesch, used LUSAS Bridge analysis software to assist with its design of a novel cable stayed pedestrian bridge that is suspended beneath the Red Gate Road Bridge that crosses the Fox River in the northern part of St Charles, Illinois. Load take-o? and sensitivity analyses werecarried out which, along with a staged erection analysis, helped to derive main beam camber values. Extreme loading events were assessed, and eigenvalue analysis and subsequent pedestrian footfa
