This technical session presents advanced methodologies for railway bridge engineering, covering high-speed train dynamic analysis as per Eurocode and rail–structure interaction (RSI) as per UIC.
It includes moving load theory, dynamic amplification, modal and resonance evaluation, and practical high-speed train modelling using the Train Load Generator Tool. The session also addresses bridge–track interaction, longitudinal forces from braking, traction, and temperature effects, with a step-by-step RSI Wizard workflow for UIC-compliant analysis.
A concise, standards-based approach to dynamic performance and interaction assessment in modern railway bridge design.
