Abstract (EN): In this work, dynamic analyses of different structural types of bridges under highspeed railway loading were carried out, towards the assessment of its dynamic behaviour in interoperable lines, in which the Technical Specifications for Interoperability (TSI) are applicable. The analyses were made for the passage of real trains and the loading schemes relative to the High Speed Load Model. The responses were evaluated from the point of view of structural safety, track safety and passengers comfort, based on the criteria established in the EN1991-2 and EN1990-AnnexA2. © 2008 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
