DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF CONCRETE RAILWAY BRIDGES

The article reviews current studies into the dynamic behaviour of railway bridges under a live load. Numerous factors influencing this behaviour are individually examined. A systematic analysis has been carried out on the additional margin to be provided for jerky stresses. For these different questions, the authors refer to studies performed by Japanese railways and the UIC Office for Research and Experiments (ORE).
