Proposals for the design of overhead bridge span superstructures in view of the resonance phenomena on the Moscow – Petersburg High-Speed Railway

Abstract

Objective: To develop proposals for designing the infrastructure of the Moscow – Petersburg High- Speed Railway (HSR) in view of the resonance patterns defined by the design solutions of the overhead bridge span superstructures. Methods: The HSR bridge project designs have been analyzed. Results: Proposals have been developed to account for the resonance patterns of high-speed trains movement along overhead bridge span superstructures designed by Mosgiprotrans JSC. Practical importance: The developed proposals make it possible to prevent the primary resonance during high-speed train movement along the HSR with superstructures designed by Mosgiprotrans JSC.
