Bridge collision loads study: Review of Differences between GC/TT0112 and proposed EC1 Part 2.7 (TCE-F027-RP-1)

A draft European Standard, EC1 Part 2.7 (as embodied in the latest draft 95-CON-M167 VRA/DKC) has been proposed which considerably increases the design loads to protect bridge structures against train impact. For high speed trains the proposed load is 10 times that specified in the Current Group Standard (GC/TT0112). Railtrack...
