Dynamic characteristics of a high-speed railway steel bridge

고속철도 강교량의 진동특성 분석

The dynamic behavior of a steel bridge crossed by the Korean High Speed Train(KHST) has been investigated experimentally and numerically. The bridge is a 2-girder simply supported steel bridge which has 40m of span length. A set of experimental tests were performed during operation of KHST, and 13 accelerometers and 6 LVDTs were utilized for measurement of dynamic responses. Numerical analyses considering bridge-structure interaction were performed for validation of experimental results. Since structural type and dynamic characteristics of the bridge differ from those of the representative concrete box bridge, dynamic behavior of the concerning steel bridge shows differences, but dynamic performances are all satisfying specification requirements.
