Analysis of Dynamic Responses for Steel Box Girder and I-girder Bridges under Train Loads

The intensity of train load in the railway bridges is relatively large and continues to repeat. Also, the speed of vehicles is very fast. For these reasons, analyses for dynamic response under train load are necessary in the railway bridges. In other words, the dynamic characteristics of steel-composite bridges under train loads should be investigated considering effects of dynamic responses such as vibrations, repeated displacements and acceleration of bridge members. Therefore, in this study, static and dynamic analyses for the steel box girder bridges and I-girder bridges are carried out. Based on analyses results, we investigated and compared dynamic response considering the impact factors of domestic and foreign design specifications
