Abstract The present article focuses on the evaluation of the dynamic behaviour of a centenary steel arch
bridge, located in Portugal, under light railway traffic loads. The work aims to assess the dynamic
behaviour of the bridge subjected to an alternative type of railway vehicle, more specifically, a
typical underground vehicle that is currently in service in the Lisbon Metro. The dynamic response
of the system has been evaluated using two distinct methodologies, namely a moving loads model
and a vehicle-bridge interaction model. To achieve this goal, finite element (FE) models from both
the bridge and the vehicle have been developed… More >
