Dynamic Performance Estimation and Procedures of Railway Bridges

철도교량 동적성능평가 기준 및 평가절차에 관한 연구

Dynamic instability of the railway bridge can cause track irregularities and be directly connected with unstable passenger comfort and derailment of the train. Europe and Japan had studied on this problem for a long time since 1960's, Results of those studies are reflected in recent Eurocode and the bridge design code of Japanese railway bridges. However, even though some traffic safety requirements were applied in Kyoung-bu highspeed railway by French engineers, we experienced many difficulties from insufficient information of criteria background and application procedures. In the present study, various studies will be presented for the estimation of dynamic performance will be proposed and procedures and methods of estimation will be shown.
