Innovative heavy wagons with a 25–27 tf axle load and the freight train movement organization having a higher weight and length are being put into operation in Russia. New operating conditions of railway bridges require an assessment of bearing capacity, durability, accumulation rate of fatigue damage and reliability. The important parameters are the dynamic properties of railway bridges (frequencies and modes of natural vibrations, decay rate, dynamic stiffness). The aim of this work is to determine the dynamic interaction of trains having different structure, weight and length with a railway bridge using numerical modeling in the midas Civil bridge software. The proposed model is verified by the dynamic parameters of spans (natural vibration frequencies), which are determined during the bridge inspection using a Tensor-MS system. The modal analysis is given to the finite element model. The lowest natural modes of the bridge are determined. Based on numerical simulation of the interaction between the train and the bridge unfavorable speed of trains is calculated leading to an increase in the oscillation amplitude of the bridge span as well as in the bridge dynamic coefficient with regard to the design features of the train structure and composition.
