BRAKING AND ACCELERATION FORCES ON BRIDGES AND INTERACTION BETWEEN TRACK AND STRUCTURE, BRAKING AND ACCELERATION FORCES ON BRIDGES, ACCUMULATED RESULTS

The report gives a proposal for a UIC leaflet concerning braking and starting forces on bridges. Theoretical models are used to extend the earlier bridge test results to a range of span of 0 to 100 m. The results apply basically to single span ballasted steel bridges. Coefficients are suggested for calculating braking and starting forces.
