track/bridge interaction (TBI) due to thermal actions. Exceeding permissible stresses in
CWRs on the bridge can lead to track buckling or rail cracking, compromising the safety of
railway traffic. The main aim of the conducted study is to determine the effects of the key
parameters such as rail cross-sectional area, track longitudinal resistance, bridge expansion
length, and longitudinal stiffness of the fixed bridge support on the reduction of additional …
