One of the problems in high-speed railways is the influence and vibrations of bridges caused by moving trains. This problem significantly differs from the problems of road bridges for the following reasons. Firstly, the loads caused by the moving train on the bridge are repeated in nature, as a consecutively rotating loads (wheel), implying that certain frequencies will be caused on the bridge during the passage of the train. In contrast, the loads implied on the road are random in nature, expressed through wheel loads and the distance between the wheels. Secondly, high-speed trains can move at a speed much higher than vehicles moving along the road, which makes it possible for the excitation frequency to coincide with the oscillation frequencies of the bridge, which leads to the so-called resonance effect. Whenever the resonance condition is reached, the reaction of the bridge will be constantly amplified, since there are heavy moving loads passing through the bridge. This effect could hardly be observed on road bridges. Thirdly, the mass ratio of vehicles on the bridge is usually larger due to the fact that the train consists of several coupled cars and the railway track is relatively narrow, it has no more than two tracks in most cases. In contrast, a road bridge may be so large that it can afford four or more lanes for vehicles moving in the opposite direction. For this reason, the interaction between moving vehicles causes a greater reaction for the road bridge than for the railways.
