Consideration of the Dynamic Effect of Increased Train Loads for the Fatigue Examination of Concrete Bridges
نویسنده
چکیده
The influence of increased train loads on the dynamic amplification for bridge action effects are investigated using simple models such as two-mass oscillators. The results show, the bridge dynamic amplification factor decreases when carriage weights are increased. This procedure facilitates more accurate calculation of fatigue stresses.

Ports are the most important economic, political and military bottlenecks. This puts shoreline structures (port) in the class of important structures and they have a crucial role in the countries’ life.

The construction of new high speed railway infrastructure in many European countries is actually a great civil engineering effort. One of the main design issues is related to the fact that trains at speeds above 220 km/h may induce resonance effects in structures as bridges, subway frames, etc. In consequence, the design of such structures requires dynamic calculations. Several methods are avai...

Displacement Coefficient Method (DCM) stipulated in the ASCE 41-06 standard is becoming the preferred method for seismic rehabilitation of buildings in many high-seismic-hazard countries. Applications of the method for non-building constructions such as bridges are beyond the scope of this standard. Thus its application to this kind of structure should be approached with care. Target displaceme...

One of the serious damages of tremendous earthquakes is the damage to bridges as the major components in an arterial road network, as relief operation is interrupted following cutting roads. Regardless of the magnitude and severity of an earthquake, other factors are also important in the strength and seismic performance of concrete bridges. Freezing-thawing cycles are among the factors, whi...
