STATISTICAL DISTRIBUTION OF AXLE-LOADS AND STRESSES IN RAILWAY BRIDGES. STUDY OF PARAMETERS RELATING TO THE DYNAMIC LOADING OF RAILWAY BRIDGES AND MEASUREMENT OF THE INFLUENCE OF TRACK IRREGULARITIES

The report gives an account of studies carried out by 3 railway administrations (CSD, DB, JNR) concerning the influence of different parameters on the dynamic loading of railway bridges as well as measurements of the influence of track irregularities at bridge mid-span made by 2 administrations (BR, DB). All studies are used to check the formula for the dynamic parameters recommended by the UIC Sub-Committee "Bridges".
