Preface
The implementation of the high-speed railway network constitutes, nowadays, one of the most
importantEuropeanchallengesbothfromthesocial/economicandtechnicalpointofview.Oneof
thesechallengesresultsfromthetrainstravellingathighspeeds,whichproducenewandcomplex
effects,namelyonbridges,andimposeamoreaccuratedesignandnewconstructiontechnologies.
Manycountrieshavealreadydevelopedtheirownstructuralsolutionsfordealingwiththeeffects
ofhigh-speedtrainsinbridges,andagreatnumberofstructureshavebeeninoperationforseveral
years.However,inrecentyears,designconceptsandtechnologyhaveimproved,whileinnovative
structuralideashaveappeared.
Inthiscontext,thisbookincludesthecontributionsofagroupofinternationalspecialistsinthis
field,sharingtheirknowledgeandexpertisewiththeengineeringcommunity,anddiscussingthe
structuralbehaviourandperformanceofexistingsolutionsandpotentialimprovements.
Thebookincludesanumberofchapterscoveringthefollowingtopics:
– Design;
– CodesandDynamicAnalysis;
– Construction;
– Monitoring,MaintenanceandRepair.
The themes included in this book are mainly based on the papers presented at the workshop
“BRIDGES FOR HIGH-SPEED RAILWAYS” organised by the Faculdade de Engenharia da
Universidade do Porto (FEUP). This book will be completed with two others, involving more
focused topics: “Dynamics of High-Speed Railway Bridges” and “Track-Bridge Interaction on
High-SpeedRailways”.
Theeditorswouldliketothankallthosewhocontributedtothisbook,inparticularourdistin-
guishedguestchapters’authorswhoheightened,withtheirknowledgeandexpertise,thepresent
interestandqualityofthebook, thesupportofthesponsorsfortheeventswhichoriginatedthe

tion,ormaintenanceofhigh-speedrailwaysystems,butalsotoresearchersandstudentsworking
