摘要：The study presents a numerical analysis of the arched footbridge designed in two variants, made of steel and aluminium. The first part presents the criteria for evaluation of the comfort of using the footbridges. The study examined the footbridge with arched design with span in the axis of 24 m and width of 1.4 m. Arch geometry was made as a part of the circle with radius of r = 20 m cut off with a chord with length equal to the calculation length of the girders. The model of the analysed footbridge was subjected to the dynamic effect of wind and the pedestrian traffic with variable flexibility. The analyses used Robot Structural Analysis software.
