  1. 1. Opportunities with Modular Systems in Level Crossings : A Case Study in the Swedish Railway Industry

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Marcus Ankaräng; [2023]
    Keywords : level crossing; railway; modular system; systems engineering; systems development; plankorsning; järnväg; modulsystem; systemteknik; systemutveckling;

    Abstract : Level crossings are a dangerous part of railways, causing several deaths every year. While the safest solution is to remove crossings altogether using bridges or tunnels, this is complicated and cannot be done on a large scale. Many level crossings will therefore continue to exist.

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Evaluation of load distribution on ballasted reinforced concrete railway trough bridges

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Byggkonstruktion och brand

    Author : Alex Eriksson; [2023]
    Keywords : Concrete; numerical analysis; trough bridge; railway bridge; finite element model; discrete element method; Betong; numeriskanalys; trågbro; tågbro; finita elementmetoden; diskreta elementmetoden;

    Abstract : A significant portion of the reinforced concrete railway bridges in Sweden are reaching their designed lifespan and are scheduled to be demolished and replaced in the upcoming years. To limit the econom-icand environmental impact related to the replacement of existing railway infrastructure, a comprehen-siveevaluation of their capacity is required with the aim of extending its lifespan.

  5. 4. Improved Bridge Load Capacity via Dynamic Train-Track-Bridge Interaction : Assessing the dynamic amplification factor caused by measured track irregularities for rail freight transport

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Muhannad Asaad; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The carbon impact of transportation is large and requires sustainable solutions. With expected population growth, rail transportation plays a vital role in facilitating a greener Europe. The expansion of the rail infrastructure is therefore of essential importance for future challenges. READ MORE

  6. 5. 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
