This paper discusses some issues related to dynamic effects in railway bridges focused on the dynamic behaviour of the small and medium span simply supported railway bridges subjected to a series of moving vehicle. Presented parametric study is focused on the dynamic deflection of the simply supported railway bridge of the span Lb = 38 m, due to the series moving loads representing a conventional train with the IC - coaches, with the impact to the speed up to 160 km/h applied in Slovakia.
