Abstract

The studying the dynamic response of steel-concrete railway bridges of Langer type is huge importance of ensuring the safety of such structures under high-speed train loads. Numerical simulations at the design stage require knowledge of the modal characteristics: natural frequencies, shapes and damping. In addition, in the dynamics of railway bridges subjected to high-speed trains, it is important to check the impact of dynamic effects on the ultimate and serviceability limit states. As part of the investigations displacements and accelerations of selected measurement points arising from driving the test rolling stock are analyzed. In the first stage, calculations of the eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenvectors were carried out in the Robot program for two variants of mass description (distributed and discrete). In the second stage, dynamic train passages for various vehicle speeds were examined in terms of displacements and accelerations of measurement points by using the authors’ program MES3D.
