  2. 1. Interpretation of Railway Track Alignment Measurements in a Geodynamic Perspective

    Author : Jonas Majala; Jan Laue; Thorkild Maack Rasmussen; Kenneth Viking; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Dynamic load; Railway; Frequency; Track measurement; Geoteknik; Soil Mechanics;

    Abstract : The development in society means that infrastructure like ballasted railway systems are facing challenges due to request for increased number of high-speed trains and heavier freight trains. This implies that ballasted railways get an increased impact from larger dynamic loads. READ MORE

  4. 2. Railway Track Stiffness : Dynamic Measurements and Evaluation for Efficient Maintenance

    Author : Eric Berggren; Mats Berg; Laurent Schmitt; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Railway track stiffness; maintenance; soil dynamics; measurement; simulation; vibration; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

    Abstract : Railway track stiffness (vertical track load divided by track deflection) is a basic parameter oftrack design which influences the bearing capacity, the dynamic behaviour of passing vehiclesand, in particular, track geometry quality and the life of track components. Track stiffness is abroad topic and in this thesis some aspects are treated comprehensively. READ MORE

  5. 3. Preliminaries for probabilistic railway sleeper design

    Author : Johanna Lilja; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sensor placement; factorial design; Railway sleeper; ballast; load variation; stochastic parameters; correlation length;

    Abstract : Two investigations are presented, which can be seen ascontributions to the aim of introducing a probabilistic designstrategy of railway sleepers in the future. When usingprobabilistic design the statistics of all relevant parametersconsidered as stochastic must be known. READ MORE

  6. 4. Concrete Bridges : Improved Load Capacity

    Author : Jonny Nilimaa; Terje Kanstad; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

    Abstract : There are many beautiful old structures around the world, some of which were designed for completely different purposes than their current applications. For example, Swedish railway bridges were only designed to carry axle loads up to 200 kN in the beginning of the 20th century, while modern loads can be twice as high. READ MORE

  7. 5. Analysis of traffic load effects an railway bridges

    Author : Gerard James; KTH; []
    Keywords : bridge; rail; traffic load. Load effect. Dynamic amplification factor; extreme value theor; peaks-over-threshold;

    Abstract : The work presented in this thesis studies the load and loadeffects of traffic loads on railway bridges. The increasedknowledge of the traffic loads, simulated using fieldmeasurements of actual trains, are employed in a reliabilityanalysis in an attempt at upgrading existing railwaybridges. READ MORE
