Simplified 2D VBI model to study train safety during ship-bridge impact events
Over the past two decades, the growth of maritime traffic and the increasing number of sea-crossing bridges have emphasized the importance of accounting for ship-impact during bridge design. In runability analyses for train running safety evaluation, vessel-bridge collisions must be incorporated. To manage the large number of simulation required, simplified models of vehicle-bridge-interaction (VBI) can
