  2. 1. Bridge Monitoring to Allow for Reliable Dynamic FE Modelling : A Case Study of the New Årsta Railway Bridge

    Author : Johan Wiberg; Håkan Sundquist; Raid Karoumi; Björn Paulsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bridge monitoring; FE modelling; signal analysis; torsion; warping; modulus of elasticity; natural frequency; damping; finite differences; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

    Abstract : Today’s bridge design work in many cases demands a trustworthy dynamic analysis instead of using the traditional dynamic amplification factors. In this thesis a reliable 3D Bernoulli-Euler beam finite element model of the New Årsta Railway Bridge was prepared for thorough dynamic analysis using in situ bridge monitoring for correlation.

  4. 2. Vibration mitigation of high-speed railway bridges : Application of fluid viscous dampers

    Author : Sarah Tell; Raid Karoumi; Ülker-Kaustell Mahir; Andreas Andersson; Bill F. Jr. Spencer; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dynamics; vibration mitigation; railway bridge; high-speed trains; bridge deck acceleration; passive damping; fluid viscous dampers; retrofit; dynamik; vibrationsdämpning; järnvägsbro; höghastighetståg; brobaneacceleration; passiv dämpning; viskösa dämpare; eftermontering; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    Abstract : At the moment of writing, an expansion of the Swedish railway network has started, by constructions of new lines for high-speed trains. The aim is to create a high-speed connection between the most populous cities in Sweden - Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö, and the rest of Europe. READ MORE

  5. 3. Capacity assessment of arch bridges with backfill : Case of the old Årsta railway bridge

    Author : Andreas Andersson; Håkan Sundquist; Raid Karoumi; Clive Melbourne; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Concrete arch bridge; soil backfill; spandrel walls; field measurements; finite element method; load distribution; ultimate limit state.; Betongbågbro; jordfyllning; sidomur; fältmätningar; finita element metoder; lastspridning; brottgränstillstånd.; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

    Abstract : The work presented in this thesis comprises the assessment of existing arch bridges with overlying backfill. The main objective is to estimate the load carrying capacity in ultimate limit state analysis. A case study of the old Årsta railway bridge is presented, serving as both the initiation and a direct application of the present research. READ MORE

  6. 4. Train–Track–Bridge Interaction for the Analysis of Railway Bridges and Train Running Safety

    Author : Therese Arvidsson; Raid Karoumi; Andreas Andersson; Costin Pacoste; Guido De Roeck; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dynamics; railway bridge; bridge deck acceleration; train–bridge interaction; vehicle model; wheel–rail force; running safety; Civil and Architectural Engineering; Byggvetenskap;

    Abstract : In this thesis, train–track–bridge interaction (TTBI) models are used to study the dynamic response of railway bridges. A TTBI model considers the dynamics of the train in addition to that of the track–bridge system. The TTBI model enables the assessment of train running safety and passenger comfort. READ MORE

  7. 5. Study and Application of Modern Bridge Monitoring Techniques
