The concept of High Capacity
The Italian High Speed / High Capacity Railway
System and Italferr role in the project
32
The concept of High Capacity

• New lines closely linked to the existing network
• 24 interconnections planned with the existing
  network,
• High level of transport capacity
• Continuity of services guaranteed by
  interoperable carriages and multi-voltage systems
• The new HS/HC railway system permits
  specializations of traffic flows by
• addressing long term transportation to the new
  lines
• assigning local, regional, and goods
  transportation to the existing lines
• These works will result in a 50 overall increase
  in the transport capacity of the entire Italian
  network.

33
High Speed/High Capacity System

• Italferr was assigned by RFI to develop and
  realize the Italian high-speed railway system,
  involving
• Euro 32 billion of investments
• more than 1,250 km (777 miles) of new railway
  lines

• from the French to the Slovenian border, passing
  through Turin, Milan, Verona and Venice
• from Milan to Naples, passing through Bologna,
  Florence and Rome
• from Milan to Genoa

Italian Standards
DESIGN CRITERIA FOR RAILWAY STRUCTURES

• Once new national code (D.M. 14.1.2008 Norme
  Tecniche per le Costruzioni) was adopted, all
  technical rules were requested to be upgraded.
• This new railways standards are written
• according to the last edition of the
• European Standard Code
• (Eurocode) EN1990 EN1991 EN1998.

DESIGN CRITERIA FOR RAILWAY STRUCTURES
Seismic action
PGA
For each point the seismic action (Peak Ground
Acceleration - PGA) is defined according to a
reference probability of excess (Pc) in a
reference return period (VR)
54
DESIGN CRITERIA FOR RAILWAY STRUCTURES

• SEISMIC DESIGN Basic Requirements

• No-collapse (Ultimate Limit State) SLV
• After occurrence of the design seismic action,
  the bridge shall retain its structural integrity
  and adequate residual resistance, although at
  some parts of the bridge considerable damage may
  occur.
• Minimization of damage (Serviceability Limit
  State) SLD
• A seismic action with a high probability of
  occurrence may cause only minor damage to
  secondary components and to parts of the bridge
  intended to contribute to energy dissipation. All
  other parts of the bridge should remain
  undamaged.

new Stations

• Stations represent the access hub for passengers
  to the railway service.
• The HS Stations have been designed considering
  the following issues
• Being a relevant architectural sign
• Being an integral part of the fabric of the
  cities, rehabilitating the surrounding areas
• Being a place for social aggregation
• Being a commercial opportunity for the
  infrastructure manager
• Respecting the environment.
