Dynamics of High-Speed Railway Bridges - Selected and revised papers from the Advanced Course on 'Dynamics of High-Speed Railway Bridges' Porto, Portugal, 20-23 September 2005

The dynamic behaviour of bridges strongly affects the infrastructure system of high-speed railways, and is a crucial factor in safety issues and passenger comfort. Dynamics of High-Speed Railway Bridges covers the latest research in this field, including:

? Recently developed dynamic analysis techniques; 

? Train excitations;

? Design issues for high-speed railway bridges

? Fatigue conduct of viaducts and large span bridges;

? Bridge dynamic behaviour;

? Case studies.

Dynamics of High-Speed Railway Bridges will be invaluable to professionals, scientists, public institutions and students involved in the design, construction and maintenance of high-speed railway bridges.
