title = "Experimental and numerical dynamic analysis and assessment of a railway bridge subjected to moving trains",
abstract = "Experimental and numerical dynamic analysis of a typical metallic railway bridge subjected to moving trains is presented in the paper. The study was carried out to verify the numerical model developed by the authors and to assess the response of the bridge to dynamic load over a range of speeds. Ambient vibration test of the bridge was performed and the finite element model was calibrated to match the modal parameters identified from the experimental records. Dynamic response test was also carried out to provide the data for direct comparison with the calculations. In general, the verification was successful, however, some difficulties encountered in the process are discussed. The calibrated model of the bridge was used in the analysis and assessment of the dynamic behaviour of the bridge over a range of trains' speeds. The bridge performed well up to the maximum speeds of trains considered in the analysis, however showed excessive accelerations for higher speeds.",
