모사 열차하중 재하에 따른 쇄석강화노반의 침하특성

Abstract

Conventional railroad roadbeds constructed with soils can easily deteriorate with time due to the increase of repeated traffic loading, increase of train speed, built-up of ground water on the roadbed and decrease of permeability in the roadbed layer, etc. In this study, performance of reinforced railroad roadbeds with the crushed stones was investigated through the real scale roadbed tests and numerical analysis. It was found that the reinforced roadbed with crushed stone had less elastic and plastic vertical displacement(settlement) than general soil roadbed regardless of the number of loading cycles. It was also found through the actual testing that for the roadbed with the same thickness, the displacement of reinforced roadbed decreases with the increase of subgrade reaction modulus. The settlement of reinforced roadbed with the same subgrade reaction modulus also decreases with the increase of thickness of the reinforced roadbed. However, the subgrade reaction modulus is a more important factor to the total plastic displacement of the track than the thickness of the crushed stone roadbed.

기존의 흙을 사용하여 건설된 철도 노반은 반복적인 교통하중의 증가, 열차속도의 향상, 노반상으로의 지하수의 유입, 노반의 배수능력 저하 등의 이유로 인해 시간경과에 따라 쉽게 그 기능을 상실할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 실대형시험과 수치해석을 수행함으로씨 철도노반으로서의 쇄석강화노반의 성능을 평가하였다. 쇄석강화노반의 탄$.$소성 연직변위는 모사열차하중의 재하횟수에 관계없이 일반 흙노반에 비해 작은 응답특성을 보였으며, 동일한 노반 부설두께에서는 노반반력계수의 증가에 따라 감소하며, 동일한 강성인 경우 노반 부설두께 증가에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 하지만, 쇄석강화노반의 부설두께에 비해 노반의 강성이 궤도에 발생하는 전체 소성 연직변위에 더욱 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 평가되었다.
