  1. 6. Numerical modelling of high-speed railway transition zone

    University essay from KTH/Jord- och bergmekanik

    Author : Karl Norberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Railway geotechnics; Bridge; Ballastless track; Transition zone; High-speed railway; Finite element method; Track stiffness;

    Abstract : Transition zones are changes in the track structure, detected by an abrupt deviationin track stiffness and/or differential settlements. One inevitable transition zone is thebridge approach. This study has investigated in this transition zone, adapted for highspeed,ballastless track. READ MORE

  3. 7. Reliability-Based Sensitivity Analysis of the Dynamic Response of Railway Bridges

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Hasan Al-Zubaidi; [2022]
    Keywords : Railway bridges; High-speed trains; Simply supported beam; Global sensitivity analysis; Uncertainty quantification; Reliability; Ballast instability; Running safety; Passenger comfort;

    Abstract : In response to the planned increase in operational speeds and axle loads of passengertrains that may lead to resonance-induced excessive vibrations in railway bridges,recent studies examined the reliability of bridges concerning train running safety andpassenger comfort limit states. In this respect, valuable information regarding theimportance of input variables can be obtained by conducting Sensitivity Analysis (SA). READ MORE

  4. 8. Spectral density approach for dynamic analysis of high-speed railway bridges

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Alket Ciku; Vlad Gavriliuc; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The focus of this thesis is to introduce the concept of train signature in the spectraldensity approach used in the dynamic analysis of simply-supported railway bridges.Due to the increased transportation demands, longer trains with higher axles loadsand top speeds are being developed.

  5. 9. Development of a model-free damage detection algorithm using AR-models and its application to a riveted steel railway bridge

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Mattis Johannes Frenz; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Bridges are one of the most important structures in our infrastructural system today.The modern society depends on these structures which in majority are nearingthe end of their design life. Therefore, the need for monitoring of bridges is increasing. READ MORE

  6. 10. Parametric Studies of Train-Track-Bridge Interaction : An evaluation of the dynamic amplification due to track irregularities for freight transport

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Rasmus Elm Dahlman; Emil Lundberg; [2021]
    Keywords : Dynamics; dynamic amplification factor; railway bridge; train-track-bridge interaction; vehicle model; track irregularities; PSD; Dynamisk förstoringsfaktor; dynamik; järnvägsbroar; tåg-spår-bro interaktion; fordonsmodell; spårojämnheter; PSD;

    Abstract : In this thesis a train-track-bridge interaction (TTBI) model is developed in order to study the dynamic amplification from track irregularities on railway bridges traversed by freight trains. These simulations are of great importance since rail freight transport is expected to increase in order to meet the climate goals. READ MORE
