ABSTRACT : The Railway Bridges in Egypt are designed at the past to perform properly under a definite loading scenario and environmental conditions. But the actual scenario to which a bridge is exposed is quite different than it is designed for. It is because there are lot of uncertainties in load coming over the structure and there is always a possibility for collapse of the structure under dynamic load. The static and dynamic test was carried out to study the performance of the Imbaba Railway Bridge over Nile River in Cairo governorate under ststic and dynamic test, also, extract modal parameter (mode shape, damping, and natural frequency).
