Abstract: With an ordinary concrete frame bridge project as the research object, a numerical model of concrete frame bridge was established with the solid element Solid65 in the finite element analysis software. The deflection-time curve of the mid-span joints of the frame bridge was obtained through transient dynamic calculation and analysis of the complete method, which  reflected the dynamic response characteristics, the displacement characteristics of the frame bridge when the train  passed through the frame bridge at different speeds. The analysis results  showed that 120~150 km/h was the optimal speed interval for the train to  pass through the frame bridge. At this speed interval, the dynamic deflection time-history curve of the frame bridge  tended to be flat, and the maximum deformation of the bridge body  was 1.88×10-2mm which  occurred near the mid-span  before and after the train  passed through the mid-span.
