Abstract
This paper describes an efficient approach for prediction of the dynamic peak response of shear deformable railway bridges subjected to high-speed trains, which is based on response spectra. In the proposed response spectra the modal peak response is presented as a function of a non-dimensional modal speed parameter and the bridge span to wagon length ratio. A rough estimate of the dynamic peak bridge response is found by modal combination of the modal peak responses identified from readily available response spectra considering the actual train and bridge parameters.
