Abstract

The article presents the results of a dynamic resistance analysis of selected existing bridge structures. The numerical calculations performed with the use of THA (time history analysis) pertained to road and rail bridges of steel and concrete structures—not paraseismically designed. The purpose of the work was to determine the dynamic resistance of objects to the influence of paraseismic impacts resulting from mining operations. The specificity of performing calculations in this area of engineering issues is presented. Real mining tremor signals, registered in the vicinity of the objects were used in the numerical analyses. The correct determination of the dynamic resistance of the object can be used as a basis for performing repair/strengthening of existing objects, which in the future will be loaded with additional paraseismic influences.
