TY - JOUR N2 - A finite element (FE) model of the straight guideway bridge under monorail train has been built in this research in order to investigate dynamic interactions of the coupled system in the vertical and longitudinal direction. A limited length of the straddle monorail bridge including five continuous spans is modeled in three dimensions by using FE method. A 3D model of the monorail train system, built in the multibody analyzer MSC ADAMS, is assembled over the bridge. The entire model, consisting of the vehicle and bridge subsystems, is numerically analyzed by performing dynamic simulation in time domain. The braking forces between the train tires and guideway beams are activated in the analysis, in addition to the dead weights of the components and the train live loads. Dynamic forces in the tires are obtained for the case of the emergency braking in the system. The reaction forces, appeared in the bridge piers, are reported as the input forces for the purpose of the bridge design.
