An approach to assignment of dynamic coefficients determining the totality of the phenomena of interaction of the "bridge-train" system, presented in most modern standards for design of bridge structures, is controversial from the point of view of the methodology and physical nature and does not have a due theoretical basis. The long-term practice of registration of dynamic effects in bridge design, built on an empirical approach, has a very limited field of application and cannot be used in the bridge structures design for train speeds more than 200 km / h [1]. Attempts to introduce new recommendations for determination of the dynamic coefficient while registering of high-speed load for the bridges calculation were made in [2].Dynamic processes accompanying the movement of the train across a bridge materially determine the construction, building material, cross-sectional dimensions, rigidity of individual elements and a structure in total [3,4,5,21]. Since absence of Russian experimental and experienced data, designing of bridge structures on high-speed railways is currently applied on the basis of calculations and numerical simulation [6,7]. It should be noted that the analysis of dynamic problems in software systems implementing the finite element method (FEM), requires considerable time spending and depends on a choice of a solution method.
AbstractThe aim of the work is to improve the methodology for the dynamic computation of simple beam spans during the impact of high-speed trains. Mathematical simulation utilizing numerical and analytical methods of structural mechanics is used in the research. The article analyses parameters of the effect of high-speed trains on simple beam spanning bridge structures and suggests a technique of determining of the dynamic index to the live load. Reliability of the proposed methodology is confirmed by results of numerical simulation of high-speed train passage over spans with different speeds. The proposed algorithm of dynamic computation is based on a connection between maximum acceleration of the span in the resonance mode of vibrations and the main factors of stress-strain state. The methodology allows determining maximum and also minimum values of the main efforts in the construction that makes possible to perform endurance tests. It is noted that dynamic additions for the components of the stress-strain state (bending moments, transverse force and vertical deflections) are different. This condition determines the necessity for differentiated approach to evaluation of dynamic coefficients performing design verification of I and II groups of limiting state. The practical importance: the methodology of determining the dynamic coefficients allows making dynamic calculation and determining the main efforts in split beam spans without numerical simulation and direct dynamic analysis that significantly reduces the labour costs for design.
