Soil Steel Composite Bridges for High-Speed Railways : 2D FEM analysis of the Björnbo Bridge
This research aims to analyse the dynamic behaviour of Soil-Steel Composite Bridges when subjected by high-speed trains. the analyses of the dynamic response for these structures are needed since there is little research performed in the present field of knowledge. Since there is also in need to perform separate dynamic analysis for these structures to verify their dynamic response, the dynamic behaviour must be analysed. The research are performed in 2D FE-models in the commercial FE-program Brigade/PLUS since there is of interest to analyse if simplified 2D-models can predict the dynamic behaviour for these structures and verify against design criterions in regulatory documents. The research is performed by calibrating a reference model against collected field measurements from a constructed Soil-Steel Composite Bridge, SSCB, located in Märsta, Sweden, Märsta Bridge. The calibration process was made to ensure satisfactory results before continuing the research by analysing a future planned SSCB in a case study that is known to in the future be subjected by high-speed trains. The future planned bridge is the Björnbo Bridge located in Skutskär, Sweden. A static structural design is first made with existing methods to verify Björnbo Bridge for static load cases. Attempts is made to verify the Björnbo Bridge against dynamic criterions available in Eurocode documents and Swedish Transport Administration regulatory documents, which includes verifying accelerations limits for 10 different high-speed trains. Smaller analysis of fatigue for the Märsta Bridge and the Björnbo Bridge was also made to verify dynamic stresses from giving fatigue damages. Since the research is limited for SSCB for dynamic cases, parametric studies are performed for certain parameters identified from an international literature review of earlier studies in both static and dynamic analysis. The studied parameters are: Soil cover depth, Young's modulus for engineered backfill and different profiles impact. These parametric studies are made to ...
