Tale Zang railway bridge is located in the 587th km. of Lorestan Railway route, between Dorood and Andimeshk. The bridge is 640 m. far from Tele Zang railway station and creates a route for trains to pass over a deep valley. The main span of the bridge is composed of six post-tensioned steel plate girders with the length and height of 72 and 2/5 meters, respectively. The 72-meter span was decreased into two spans of 15 and 42 meters by the use of two inclining columns (Picture 1). The route of the train over the bridge is a curve with a radius of 250 m. Both static and dynamic load tests were conducted on the bridge to investigate the reasons of the deck lateral vibration produced when a train passes over the bridge. Such a vibration has brought about a sense of insecurity among operators and reduced the operation speed. The loading was carried out by an 80-ton four-axle locomotive along with three freight cars. In its most critical load condition, the bridge was loaded by 307 tons and the structure response was measured by 88 strain gauge, LVDT, and accelerometer sensors.
