Dynamics of High-Speed Railway Bridges : Selected and revised papers from the Advanced Course on 'Dynamics of High-Speed Railway Bridges' Porto, Portugal, 20-23 September 2005

The dynamic behaviour of bridges strongly affects the infrastructure system of high-speed railways, and is a crucial factor in safety issues and passenger comfort. Dynamics of High-Speed Railway Bridges covers the latest research in this field, including: – Recently developed dynamic analysis techniques; – Train excitations; – Design issues for high-speed railway bridges – Fatigue conduct of viaducts and large span bridges; – Bridge dynamic behaviour; – Case studies. Dynamics of High-Speed Railway Bridges will be invaluable to professionals, scientists, public institutions and students involved in the design, construction and maintenance of high-speed railway bridges.
