Abstract:

Railway bridges were a symbol of technical progress and innovative engineering at all times. As an important piece of our infrastructure they dominate our natural and urban environment for very long periods. Therefore, railway bridges have to meet high requirements of aesthetic and design value in addition to the basic demands of safety, functionality and economics.

Designing engineers have to take reasonable care to the safety and the comfort of the users of railway bridges and similarly to the environmental impact of the bridge and their social consequences for the people, who live in the surrounding area.
