Dynamic Response of Elevated High-Speed Railway
Publication: Journal of Bridge Engineering
Volume 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The study of the dynamic response of the elevated railway for the high-speed train in the Taiwan area at the preliminary design stage is presented. Two types of the elevated reinforced concrete railway, they being the simple-span and the three-equal-span box girders supported on piers; three types of the high-speed train, namely, the French T.G.V., the German I.C.E., and the Japanese S.K.S.; and the maximum operation speed 350 km/h are under investigation. The general dynamic stiffness matrix of a damped Timoshenko beam is employed for the structural analysis. The influence line of any dynamic response (also called the dynamic influence line) of the elevated railway subjected to the high-speed train, considered as a series of the moving loads, is calculated by the mode-superposition method. A preliminary design of the section of the railway is proposed for this study.
