A large part of the European railway bridges are rapidly getting closer to their service life end and at the same time the railway operators calls for higher axle loads for freight trains and higher speeds for passenger trains. This requires new and better approaches for assessing both the railway loads and the resistance of the railway bridges.rnThe guideline which will be developed in the project and is assumed to be first of its kind, is expected to provide the basis for a significant step forward in the efficiency in management of railway bridges in Europe with focus on both load and resistance.
