Abstract |
|
India being the largest rail network in Asia and the worlds second largest network operated under a single management with a track length of 1,15,000kms with no major upgradation till date and the same goes with the connecting railway bridges. With time and evolution railway bridges took various shapes with their own advantages and limitations. Railway bridges play a crucial role in ensuring fast and smooth communication and transportation between cities across the country. Consequently, they hold a major role in the economy and infrastructure development of a country. This paper attempts to synthesize the existing research in the field of railway bridges so as to provide a better understanding among the practising engineers and researchers. Excerpts from the research may be utilized for assessing the dynamic performance of railway bridges in the near future with further refinement. |
