Abstract Due to the limitations of railway route selection, some high-speed railways are inevitably built near or across fault zones. To study distribution rail-bridge interaction under different load history states suspension bridges three types near-fault pulse-type earthquakes, this paper takes China's longest bridge—Wufengshan Yangtze River Bridge as background and establishes a spatial mod...

Vibration analysis of bridges induced by train loads is a crucial aspect railway design, particularly considering the complexity vehicle components such as bogie-suspension systems. Consequently, engineers have endeavored to improve computational efficiency and applicability models using finite-element method. This paper introduces toolbox implemented in ABAQUS through user-defined element (UEL...

Bridges built in ice-covered water regions are mostly complex marine environments, they not only need to withstand strong wind but also resist the impact of drift ice. However, at present, there is a lack vehicle–bridge coupling vibration analysis and driving safety assessment under combined ice wind. Therefore, this study constructs complete framework ice–wind–vehicle–bridge interaction invest...
