열차하중을 받는 토목섬유 보강사면의 수치해석

Abstract

This paper presents the procedure and results of the numerical modelling that was carried out to investigate the stability of reinforced soil slopes under dynamic railway load. The two-dimensional explicit dynamic finite element method (ABACUS) was used to carry out the numerical analyses. To simulate the railway load, the top surface of the embankment was excited by the uniform distributed load whose frequency and magnitude was estimated by the measured railway acceleration during train passing. The embankment displacements and geogrid axial forces were analyzed to evaluate the stability of reinforced soil slopes under the dynamic train load.
