N2 - This paper deals with the allocation and sizing of multiple tuned-mass-dampers (MTMDs) in an attempt to retrofit footbridges with multiple critical modes resulting from the excitation of pedestrian traffic. The simple and practical methodology proposed herein includes the use of an iterative analysis/redesign type procedure that converges to a given allowable level of acceleration. An example that uses this methodology to retrofit an existing footbridge is presented.
