Retrofitting Eagles Meadow Bridge with a Tuned Mass Damper
This paper presents a solution to undesirable acceleration effects experienced by pedestrians on the Eagles Meadow Footbridge in Wrexham. The installation of a tuned mass damper reduced the vertical movement of the bridge to near imperceptible levels. An analysis by hand calculation of the bridge dynamics and tuned mass damper characteristics is presented.
