This study proposes a simplified analysis method that couples the bridge and train-track subsystem in a weak form to facilitate the dynamic analysis of the train-track-bridge coupled system (TTBS) under earthquakes. The method includes three main steps: (i) performing dynamic analysis of the bridge...
