Abstract: | It has been reported several times that train derailment occurs when mixed marshalling freight trains traverse bridges at
high speeds in China. This study aims to explain this phenomenon numerically based on the train-bridge coupling vibration
theory and its associated computer program. The train-bridge vibration characteristic is analyzed by a computer program when
mixed marshalling freight trains traverse 32-meter-span prestressed concrete simple beam bridges. The mechanism that dynamic
responses of the bridges are prominent and that empty trains are inclined to derail are derived from the dynamic responses
analysis. The analysis indicates that the significant differences of axle loads between heavy vehicles and empty vehicles
produce periodic forced loadings of large amplitudes. These periodic loadings cause severe vibration of bridges. In turn,
severe vibration of the bridges produces intensive counteraction to empty vehicles.
