Pedestrian bridges feature thin cross-sections, which provide sufficient load capacities but lead to low natural frequencies that make the bridges susceptible to vibration under pedestrian excitation. This study investigates the lateral vibration of a curved bridge with a small radius down to 20 m, proposes an approach to mitigate the lateral vibration of bridges with large curvatures using distributed multiple tuned mass dampers (MTMD), and conducts in-situ bridge tests to evaluate the vibration mitigation performance. The lateral vibration was investigated through in-situ tests and finite element analysis as well as the code requirements. The key parameters of the distributed MTMD system were improved by strategically selecting the mass ratio, bandwidth, center frequency ratio, and damper number. The results showed that the curved bridge was subjected to significant lateral vibration due to the coupling of torque and moment, and the recommended design parameters for the studied bridge were derived, i.e., the total mass ratio is 0.02, bandwidth is 0.15, center frequency ratio is 1.0, and damper number is 3. The proposed approach effectively improves the deployment of MTMD for lateral vibration control of the curved bridge. The field tests showed that the vibration was reduced by up to 82% by using the proposed approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22124329","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,13]],"date-time":"2022-06-13T02:01:44Z","timestamp":1655085704000},"page":"4329","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Lateral Vibration Control of Long-Span Small-Radius Curved Steel Box Girder Pedestrian Bridge with Distributed Multiple Tuned Mass Dampers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Zhaolan","family":"Wei","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Sichuan Agricultural University, Dujiangyan 611830, China"}]},{"given":"Mengting","family":"Lv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Sichuan Agricultural University, Dujiangyan 611830, China"}]},{"given":"Siyin","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Sichuan Agricultural University, Dujiangyan 611830, China"}]},{"given":"Minghui","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Sichuan Agricultural University, Dujiangyan 611830, China"}]},{"given":"Meng","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bridge Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 610031, China"}]},{"given":"Shaomin","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Sichuan Agricultural University, Dujiangyan 611830, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2766-2077","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yi","family":"Bao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil, Environmental and Ocean Engineering, Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ 07030, USA"}]},{"given":"Peng","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Latin American Department, SINOMACH-HI International Equipment Co., Ltd., Beijing 100176, China"}]},{"given":"Zuyin","family":"Zou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Civil Engineering, Sichuan Agricultural University, Dujiangyan 611830, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,7]]},"reference":[{"doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Michael Stein, P.E.
