Objective High speed railway trains bring new problems to bridge design which may limit the development of steel or composite railway bridges and may result in authorities selecting the concrete solution.It is thus felt necessary to undertake a new research activity to remove technical drawbacks, to provide an answer to the objections raised by national authorities, and also to transfer the know-how available in various European countries in order to improve and promote the use of constructional steel in the European High Speed Railway System.
