Abstract

Railway bridges by definition are structures that carry railway lines over obstructions. These structures represent complex feats of engineering and design, and frequently involve the collaboration of a team of engineers, architects and builders. This chapter classifies and briefly describes the main types of bridges which are commonly used in ordinary and high-speed railway lines. It describes the basic concepts and assumptions for choosing a railway bridge, omitting formulas and theories.
