| Abstract: |
In complicated cases the design criteria for railway bridges have to be verified by experimental results to guarantee the necessary high safety standards. Examples of such cases are new structural systems which go beyond established design rules, temporary bridges in a row or difficult foundation conditions. Here, reliable continuous monitoring systems in combination with immediate response control systems are required. Systems for such purposes are presented in the article and recent applications of these systems are shown which increase the safety of railway bridges. |
