Dynamics of High-Speed Railway Bridges

Klappentext The dynamic behaviour of bridges strongly affects the infrastructure system of high-speed railways! and is a crucial factor in safety issues and passenger comfort. Dynamics of High-Speed Railway Bridges covers the latest research in this field! including: a " Recently developed dynamic analysis techniques; a " Train excitations; a " Design issues for high-speed railway bridges a " Fatigue conduct of viaducts and large span bridges; a " Bridge dynamic behaviour; a " Case studies. Dynamics of High-Speed Railway Bridges will be invaluable to professionals! scientists! public institutions and students involved in the design! construction and maintenance of high-speed railway bridges. Zusammenfassung The dynamic behaviour of bridges strongly affects the infrastructure system of high-speed railways, and is a crucial factor in safety issues and passenger comfort. This work covers the research in this field, including: dynamic analysis techniques; train excitations; design issues for high-speed railway bridges; and, bridge dynamic behaviour.
