A Detailed Study of the Dynamic Response of Elastomeric vs. POT PTFE Bearings on Railway Bridges for Indian Infrastructure Development (10m-50m Span Range)
Abstract
The railway system is the most important part of India's transportation system. When it comes to ensuring that the structure is safe and sound, bridge bearings are of utmost importance. Within the scope of this comprehensive investigation, the response of elastomeric bearings and POT PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) bearings to dynamic forces is investigated. The present study focuses on railway bridges with spans of 10 to 50 meters and compares their performance to Indian Roads Congress (IRC) standards and Indian Railway specifications.
