Impact
Estimated how the hospital skybridge would respond to design wind conditions and considered pedestrian comfort to support engineering evaluation.
Challenge
The two-span skybridge needed structural dynamic assessment of its behavior under wind and pedestrian comfort criteria.
STRAAM approach
STRAAM assessed the bridge’s dynamic behavior and calibrated a structural model to evaluate wind response and comfort.
Result
The analysis gave the hospital team a model-based estimate of bridge movement under specified wind conditions and considered whether that movement would be comfortable for users.
