Abstract

To secure good visibility various steel flexible barriers were introduced and constructed in the area where a highway runs in parallel with a railroad. However, none of the flexible barriers was proven to satisfy the performance criteria for the impact condition of $14tonf-80km/h-15^{\circ}$ set forth by Korea design guide. Thus, in this study, the impact performance of the flexible barriers was investigated by using Barrier VII program, which was most widely used for the preliminary design of barriers. From the analytical results, it has been found that none of the barriers satisfied the stiffness requirement while the Type C barrier showed stiffer behavior than the others. Thus, the way to strengthen the installed Type C barrier was experimentally investigated. The method of partially filling concreter inside the pst was efficient to satisfy the performance criteria for the impact condition of $14tonf-80km/h-15^{\circ}$.

최근 고속도로와 철도가 평행하게 달라는 경우와 같은 특정위험구간에 안정성과 동시에 좋은 시야를 확보하기 위하여 다양한 철제 베리어가 제안되어 설치되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 베리어 중에서 어느 것도 국내의 충돌조건 $14tonf-80km/h-15^{\circ}$ 을 만족시키는지 확실하게 검증된바가 없기 때문에 본 연구에서는 베리어 예비설계에 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 Barrier VII프로그램을 사용하여 이러한 철재 베리어의 충돌거동을 조사하였다. 해석결과 조사된 베리어 모두 필요한 강성을 발현하지 못하였고 유형 C베리어의 강성이 상대적으로 우수하였다. 따라서, 기 시공된 유형 C 가드레일을 보강하기 위한 방안을 실험적으로 검토하였고 지주에 콘크리트를 부분적으로 보강하는 방법이 충돌조건을 효율적으로 만족시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.
