Concrete railway bridges withstand high-speed trains with dynamic load factor breakthrough.
Concrete railway bridges respond differently to trains based on factors like speed, wheel loads, and bridge characteristics. A study looked at 23 bridges to understand how these factors affect the dynamic load factor. Results show that the dynamic load factor is influenced by both the bridge's properties and the moving train. The study found that the impact factor on prestressed concrete bridges aligns with calculated dynamic load factors, but doesn't match recommendations for such structures.
