Trains with a different number of carriages can induce stress responses with varying
amplitudes in the long-span steel bridges, which consequently cause different levels of …

This paper presents a methodology for classifying train passages into different types with a
weigh-in-motion (WIM) system to allow the calibration of railway fatigue load models and …

This article presents a load model of historic traffic for fatigue life estimation of Norwegian
railway steel bridges. A general framework for the calibration of a fatigue load model is …

Abstract Imprecise Structural Reliability Analysis (ISRA) is a novel and promising field in
structural reliability. This work develops and introduces a framework for ISRA applied to …

This paper presents a method to identify the most damaging train with respect to fatigue
damage in railway bridges. The problem is formulated as a combinatorial optimization …

Steel girder bridges with member decks belong to the most frequently used types of
superstructures of old riveted steel railway bridges. During their service life, the bridge deck …

This study presents correction factors for the Norwegian fatigue load model for railway
bridges. The fundamental idea of a correction factor is to ensure that the load model induces …

Ремонт и реконструкция является неотъемлемой частью жизненного цикла таких
сооружений, как: мосты, путепроводы, акведуки. Своевременное обслуживание и …

Repair and reconstruction is an integral part of the life cycle of such structures as: bridges,
overpasses, aqueducts. Timely maintenance and repair of bridge structures contributes to …

Approximately one-third of all bridges operating in the current Norwegian railway network
are steel bridges built before 1960. After these bridges were built, the mechanism of fatigue …
