Abstract

The transition zone of the railway is the section which roadbed stiffness is suddenly varied like as tunnel-earthwork, bridge-earthwork and concrete track-ballasted track. There are about 450 tunnel-bridge transition sections on Kyungbu high-speed railway line. It is very important to pay careful attention to construction of these transition zones, in order to secure the train running safety. So, we developed a finite element model of the moving wheel loading to simulate the behavior of bridge-earthwork transitions in this paper. The most distinctive characteristics of the model proposed is to simulate the real wheel behavior on rail. And the main analysis object is to evaluate and compare the deformation characteristics of the transition zone according to the reinforcement methods and length of transition zone which is adopted to high-speed railway. Based on the analysis results, we assessed the effect of the reinforcements on the transition zone of high-speed railway.

접속부는 교량에서 토공, 터널에서 토공, 콘크리트궤도에서 자갈도상궤도로 옮겨가는 구간과 같이 궤도 하부구조의 지지강성이 변화하는 구간으로 경부고속철도에서는 터널 및 교량 구조물 접속부만 450여개에 달한다. 접속부의 상태는 열차주행 안정성과 신뢰성에 큰 영향을 미치기 때문에 유지보수의 문제가 발생하지 않도록 모든 조치를 취할 필요가 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 국내외에서 보편적으로 적용하고 있는 교량/토공 접속부 에서의 보강방안과 추가보강방안의 효과를 보다 합리적으로 검토하기 위하여 이동윤하중 재하방식의 수치해석을 수행하였다. 이동윤하중 재하방식은 열차바퀴를 실물로 모델링한 후 레일위에서 실시간으로 이동시켜 이때 발생하는 궤도 각 위치에서의 변형특성을 검토함으로써 시간영역에서의 상세해석 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 해석 대상은 고속철도에서 적용 가능한 접속부 보강방안 종류별 및 어프로치블럭의 연장별 변형특성이며 이를 통하여 현재 건설조건하에서의 접속부 보강효과를 검토하였다.
