Track-Bridge Interaction on High-Speed Railways

<p>The construction of high-speed railways includes a wide variety of aspects ranging from safety to new types of equipment and construction solutions. All these require state-of-art technologies and in recent years design concepts for high-speed railways have improved. </p><p>The focus in this volume is on the interaction between rail track and bridges. Track-bridge interaction sets a limit to the vibration and deformability of structures so that accelerations stresses and track deformations are controlled circulation safety is satisfied and design solutions for bridges are determined. </p><p><strong>Track-Bridge Interaction on High-Speed Railways</strong> presents the latest research on the interaction between rail track and bridges and will be invaluable to civil engineers involved in the design construction and maintenance of high-speed railways and bridges and to researchers and graduate and undergraduate engineering students with an interest in this field. </p>
