STATISTICAL DISTRIBUTION OF AXLE-LOADS AND STRESSES IN RAILWAY BRIDGES. FINAL REPORT

The report describes the results of the theoretical and experimental studies concerning the dynamic loading of railway bridges under traffic. Statistical processing of the results made it possible to establish railway bridge load spectra and derive methods for dimensioning steel railway bridges to traffic load fatigue. The study was supplemented by tests with bridges at speeds up to 250 km/h. The individual parameters were considered in detail.
