The dynamic transverse response of beam type bridges under railway tra c is addressed in this contribution. In particular, how soil-structure interaction may a ect the critical or resonant speeds and the associated vibratory amplitudes is evaluated in detail. Resonance in beams, due to the circulation of equidistant loads, is highly influenced...

In the present contribution, the dynamic behaviour of beams traversed by moving loads including soil–structure interaction (SSI) is investigated. The main application of the study is to analyse the effects of SSI on the resonant response of bridges caused by railway traffic. As this phenomenon is highly influenced by the free vibration response...
