Abstract (EN): The main scope of this paper is the analysis of train-bridge interaction effects on the dynamic response of a small span high-speed railway bridge. As a case study, the railway bridge of Canelas, located in the Northern line of the Portuguese railway, was selected. A comparison was made between the results obtained using two different methods: the moving loads method and the train-bridge interaction method. Furthermore, in order to take into account the structural parameters variability, simulation techniques were used. The obtained results indicate that train-bridge interaction might play an important role for safety assessment problems limited by resonant effects.
