comparison of two different railway bridges i.e. one with Rail Structure
Interaction and other without Rail Structure Interaction is studied in
terms of additional stresses in the rail.
The connection between deck and rail is done with the help of Multi
linear Elastic Link and Rigid link to study the effect on the structure.
Results
60.38% increase in the rail stresses due to train vertical loading &
28.52% due to thermal loading.

The main purpose of this paper is to present some results concerning the investigation of the effects of the vehicle-
bridge interaction in simply supported medium span viaducts, including the modelling of the ballast-rail track
system. This system is modelled using the rail stiffness in vertical and longitudinal directions, including the rail pad
and the sleepers, and the ballast as a system of vertical springs, dampers and masses. A simplified vehicle model
proposed by the European Railway Research Institute (ERRI D214, 1999), taking into account the vehicle primary
suspension characteristics and the mass of the bogie is used with the contact algorithm implemented in the software
ADINA to evaluate the response acceleration of a simply supported medium span concrete viaduct. The results are
compared with those from the moving loads model for a wide range of train speeds.
