STATISTICAL DISTRIBUTION OF AXLE-LOADS AND STRESSES IN RAILWAY BRIDGES. THE INFLUENCE OF HIGH SPEED TRAINS ON STRESSES IN RAILWAY BRIDGES

This report presents a summary of measurements, made by different Administrations, of the dynamic coefficients of bridge components, over which test trains were run at high speed (v up to 250 km/h). The dynamic coefficients determined from these test results are compared with dynamic coefficients calculated from different mathematical models and the dynamic coefficients suggested by UIC. The conclusions give an evaluation of the different theoretical dynamic coefficient calculation methods.
