  1. 1. Dynamic Analysis of Portal Frame Bridges for High-Speed Trains : A Parametric Study

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Antonio Dib; Ramayana Salgado; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A high-speed railway network is important for Sweden’s development. However, anincreasing train speed brings new challenges in bridge design due to higher bridgeaccelerations. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. 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

  6. 5. Soil-Structure Interaction Analysis of Portal Frame Railway Bridges : Numerical Analysis of Two Case Study Bridges

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Nils Sandqvist; Marko Milicevic; [2020]
    Keywords : Soil-structure Interaction; Portal Frame Bridge; Dynamic Analysis; Perfectly Matched Layer; Train Passage Analysis; Railway Bridge; High Speed Train v;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) analysis of portal framerailway bridges. Dynamic problems are common for bridges used for high speedrailway traffic. The passing trains induce harmonic loads on the bridges causingvibration amplitudes that may cause damage to the bridge structures and userdiscomfort. READ MORE
