ABSTRACT
To provide a theoretical basis for eliminating resonance and optimizing the design of viscoelastically supported bridges, this paper investigates the analytical solutions of train-induced vibrations in railway bridges with low-stiffness and high-damping rubber bearings. First, the shape function of the viscoelastic bearing reinforced concrete (RC) beam is derived for the dynamic response of the viscoelastic bearing RC beam subjected to a single moving load. Furthermore, based on the simplified shape function, the dynamic response of the viscoelastic bearing RC beam under equidistant moving loads is studied. The results show that the stiffness and damping effect on the dynamic response of the supports cannot be neglected. The support stiffness might adversely increase the dynamic response. Further, due to the effect of support damping, the free vibration response of RC beams in resonance may be significantly suppressed. Finally, when the moving loads leave the bridge, the displacement amplitude of the viscoelastic support beam in free vibration is significantly larger than that of the rigid support beam.
