Eurocode 1: Actions on Structures - Traffic Loads on Bridges - Track-Bridge Interaction

This Technical Report reviews current practice with regard to designing, constructing and maintaining the parts of bridges and tracks where railway rails are installed across discontinuities in supporting structures. Current Standards and Codes of Practice are examined and some particular case histories are reviewed. The Technical Report gives guidance with respect to current best practice and makes recommendations for future standards development and also identifies areas in which further research and development is needed.

Eurocode 1: Einwirkungen auf Tragwerke - Verkehrslasten auf Brücken - Gleis-Brücken Interaktion

Dieses Dokument überprüft die gegenwärtige Praxis in Bezug auf Bemessung, Bau und Instandhaltung Brückenbauteilen und Gleisen in Bereichen, in denen die Eisenbahnschienen über Unstetigkeitsstellen der gleistragenden Strukturen hinweg verlegt sind. Gegenwärtige Normen und Leitfäden für die Praxis werden untersucht und einige spezielle Fälle hinsichtlich ihrer historischen Entwicklung überprüft.
Das Dokument dient als Leitfaden in Bezug auf die gegenwärtige bewährte Vorgehensweise und gibt Empfehlungen für die Erarbeitung zukünftiger Normen und es identifiziert Bereiche, in denen weiterführende Forschung und Entwicklung nötig sind.

Evrokod 1: Vplivi na konstrukcije - Prometna obtežba mostov - Medsebojni vpliv tračnice-most

To tehnično poročilo podaja pregled trenutne prakse, povezane s projektiranjem, postavitvijo ter vzdrževanjem delov mostov in tračnic, pri čemer so tračnice nameščene na nehomogenih podpornih konstrukcijah. Preverjeni so trenutni standardi in pravila ravnanja ter pregledanih je nekaj posebnih preteklih primerov. Tehnično poročilo podaja navodila v zvezi s trenutno najboljšo prakso in priporočila za prihodnje razvojne standarde ter določa področja, za katera so potrebne nadaljnje raziskave in razvoj.
