The Impact

This paper is based on one project of Metro shield tunnel across a high-speed railway bridge. In the study the impact of train operations is taken into account, the finite-element method is adopted to analyze effect of shield tunneling. The conclusions indicate that according to the different tunnels and relative positions of pile, the excavation of the tunnels would have different effects on pile foundation. When the construction of shield across the bridge, the nature of the soil and will have an effect on deformation and stress of pile. Due to tunnel excavation of bridge internal force on bridge attached to the forces of good roles and bad role. Additional deformation of the beams and the additional forces are very small, so they will not affect the bridge work.

There are lots of theories and methods about condition assessment for highway bridge, and gradual perfection for normal-speed railway bridge, but only little for high-speed railway bridge, especially large-span and special structures. After studying on the contents, methods, theories and evaluation indexes of highway bridge and normal-speed railway bridge, combined with the characteristics of high-speed railway bridge, index system for high-speed railway bridge(medium and small span, large-span or special bridge structures) was conceived and discussed, which laid the foundation for the development of condition assessment of high-speed railway bridge.

Rubber Bearings

Basin rubber bearings are frequently used in high-speed railway bridge or passenger special line railway bridge, lead rubber bearings (LRB) are infrequently used in those railway bridges nowdays, the study on earthquake-resistant capability of railway bridge fabricated isolation bearing - the intelligent and functional structure - would be beneficial in engineering practices. Elasto-plastic earthquake responses of high-speed railway bridges fabricated LRB are studied by means of the finite element program, earthquake responses of railway bridges under high-speed vehicles and different earthquake action fabricated and unfabricated isolation bearing are calculated respectively. The results show that: plastic hinge will develop at the bottom of piers in regard to railway bridges with mid-high and low pier; LRB can reduce displacement and inner forces of structures and improve earthquake-resistant capability of structures effectively.

Seismic loads pose a potential threat to the high-speed railway bridges in China, which have been rapidly developing in recent years, especially for those subjected to the near-fault earthquakes. The previous researches on high-speed railway bridges usually concern the far-field earthquake, and the damage of high-speed railway bridge–track system subjected to the near-fault earthquake has not been well studied. In this article, a seven-span high-speed railway simply supported bridge–track system is selected to explore the seismic damage features under the excitation of near-fault earthquake which possesses characteristics of obvious velocity pulse and high-frequency vibration. First, a detailed finite element model of the selected bridge–track system is established and calibrated by the experimental data and design code. Then the low-frequency pulse-type portion and the high-frequency background portion are separated from the selected eight original near-fault records, and a series of nonlinear dynamic analysis is conducted. The results show that the background portion leads to more serious damage of the bridge–track system than the pulse-type portion. Due to the high stiffness of high-speed railway bridge–track system, the background portion with high-frequency vibration characteristic produces the main part of seismic response of system. As for the damage part of system, the weakest component of the bridge–track system is the sliding layer, followed by the shear alveolar.

Coupling Dynamic

For high-speed railway bridges in operation, it is necessary to reveal the coupling dynamic performance of train–bridge systems in order to avoid extreme vibrations, which are not conducive to bridge safety. With the opening of long-span heavy-haul and complex-type bridges to traffic, the train–bridge interaction can hardly be explained by a mature and unified theory. Notably, field testing and monitoring analysis have become popular in tracking the dynamic performance of train–bridge systems. The vibration of railway bridges depends on the train-track configuration and the inherent characteristics of bridges. The inherent characteristics of bridges, which are reflected by the modal parameters, are extracted via operational modal analysis in this paper. In addition, the modal characteristics of bridges while the train is passing through are also investigated to explain the coupling dynamic effect with the help of the train configuration. Considering that the measured vibration responses are seriously polluted by non-white noise or excitation, the variational mode decomposition (VMD) technique is developed to extract the state-driven vibrations for modal analysis. Since VMD is a univariate technique that hardly ensures that the weak component can be obtained from each measuring channel, the multi-channel variational mode decomposition (MVDM) technique is extended in this paper. The field monitoring data of a high-speed railway bridge are taken for modal identification and vibration analysis. The results show that the weak structural modes can be tracked, even though the forced vibrations due to the passage of regularly spaced axles are dominant. In addition, the dynamic effects in train-induced vertical vibrations of bridges are closely related to the train speed, heavy axle loads and the span length.

<p>In 2019, the German Federal Railway Authority commissioned the consortium TU Darmstadt, KU Leuven, AIT-Austrian Institute of Technology and REVOTEC to develop a new dynamic load model for high-speed railway bridges. It aims to cover the envelopes of the dynamic train signatures and acceleration responses for all currently operating trains and the current HSLM (high-speed load model), given in the Eurocode. In addition, the development of the new load model should also include possible configurations of fast freight trains and future train configurations. An overview of the planned content of the research project and selected results of the current work will be presented.</p>

Taking Jinan Yellow River Bridge as an example, using 3D finite element method, displacement and behavior of four-line high-speed railway bridge with two main trusses, K-shaped brace and middle suspender is studied. The results show that transversal wave of displacement of floor system is significant, and the difference of the displacement in transversal direction reaches 6 mm. The causes includes: large distance between two main trusses, large stiffness of stringers, longitudinal stiffeners and crossbeams, weak transversal stiffeners which do not connect to lower chords. About 90% of the loads are transferred to the crossbeam through path 1 and about 60% to 80% of these loads through K-shaped braces. Less than 10% of the loads transferred to lower chords through path 2.
