Abstract:

By considering the vertical-horizontal interations, this paper investigates the effect of the prestress on the vibration of the bridge subjected to high-speed trains. Lagrange’s equations are adopted to obtain the finite element equations of motion for the train-bridge coupling system, where the horizontal-vertical interaction is represented by an equivalent stiffness, and the effect of high-order displacements is expressed by an equivalent load. The proposed method is validated by a simply supported bridge, and the results show that due to the effects of horizontal-vertical interactions, the horizontal prestress forces can enlarge the vertical displacements of the bridge at resonance, while the vertical vehicular loads can cause the bridge vibration in horizontal direction.
