Summary
The design of high speed railway lines assumes overall geometrical parameters with proper ballasted track bed and bridge structure arrangement. The specific provision for evaluation of dynamic impact, vibrations (potentially leading to resonance), riding comfort requirement, thermal forces actions, and effects due to change in track modulus for travel (from approach into bridges) are subjects of this paper. Testing methods for verification of global behaviour of bridges are also presented. Typical examples are described.
