A study of railway bridge/vehicle interaction and evaluation of fatigue life |
|
| Authors: | V K Garg K H Chu T L Wang |
| Abstract: | A new vehicle model and the partial bridge model were used to study the dynamic interaction between an open deck steel truss bridge and a moving freight train. The responses in terms of dynamic stresses in certain critical members in the bridge were generated to predict their fatigue lives by using a reliability-based methodology. |
