Numerical analysis of beam rail bridges with random track irregularities

Abstract

The study focuses on dynamic analysis of composite bridge / track structure / train systems (BTT systems) with random vertical track irregularities taken into consideration. The paper presents the results of numerical analysis of advanced virtual models of series-of-types of single-span simply-supported railway steel-concrete bridges (SCB) with symmetric platforms, located on lines with the ballasted track structure adapted to traffic of high-speed trains.
