Abstract

Within the demonstration project ECOBRIDGE, funded by the Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS), a monitoring program has been developed and applied to survey a composite railway bridge. The stress distribution between concrete and specially designed composite dowels, which have a better fatigue resistance compared to conventional headed studs, has been investigated as well as the forces in several rail support points. The German railway operator DB Netz AG requested the survey to prove the applicability of state of the art calculation methods, which were not part of compulsory codes.
