Abstract: The progressive increase in loads and frequency of trains traversing over aging railway infrastructure can lead to large lateral forces and displacements that could potentially cause derailment and problems related to ...

Abstract: Knowing the extent of displacement experienced by railroad bridges when loaded is useful when evaluating the safety and serviceability of the bridge. However, measuring displacements under train crossing events is difficult. ...

Abstract: Monitoring of bridge displacements is critical for safe and cost-effective railroad operations. One of the essential parameters for determining the serviceability of the bridges is the dynamic displacement of the bridge ...
