STUDY OF TRACK - STRUCTURE INTERACTION

ETUDE DE L'INTERACTION. VOIE-OURRAGE D'ART

Study of stress and strains resulting from the dissimilar characteristics of RATP and SNCF bridge foundations. The results, in figures, of a theoretical analysis of the effects of expansion, braking and bending of the bridge platform are compared against currently accepted experimental values. Simulation of various examples has made it possible to determine theoretically the bridge spans which require expansion devices as well as those stresses caused by expansion which must be taken into account. Measurements are currently being taken on the Macon (SNCF) bridge and should provide the information required for the purposes of making a comparison.
