Abstract

In this study, a mid-size RC test apparatus equipped with analyzing program is developed that can test samples up to D=10cm diameter and H=20cm height which is larger than usual samples of D=5cm and H=10cm used mostly in practice. Thus, crushed stones with larger grains up to 38mm in diameter used mostly in Korea as reinforced trackbed materials in track construction could be considered effectively than conventionally used RC apparatus for evaluation of the dynamic properties of the materials by using the newly developed RC apparatus. The RC test apparatus was designed and assembled based on the concept of fixed-free fixity conditions and driving mechanism proposed by Stokoe. Using the developed RC test apparatus, three types of representative crushed reinforced trackbed materials were tested in order to get the dynamic properties of the materials such as $G/G_{max}$ reduction curves and damping ratio D. For comparison purpose, a small RC test apparatus has been used to test the same materials.

본 연구에서는 국내에서 보편적으로 사용되는 최대입경이 38mm에 이르는 쇄석 강화노반재료에 대한 동적 변형특성을 평가하기 위하여 직경 D=10cm, 길이 L=20cm의 시편을 시험할 수 있는 Stokoe방식의 고정단-자유단 중형 공진주 시험기 및 구동시스템과 해석프로그램을 제작하였다. 이렇게 완성된 중형 공진주 시험기를 이용하여 우리나라의 대표적인 석산 쇄석 강화노반재료에 대하여 공진주 시험을 수행하였다. 또한 소형(D=5cm) 공진주 시험기를 이용하여 동일한 재료로 시험을 수행하여 전단탄성계수(G) 감소곡선과 정규화 전단탄성계수($G/G_{max}$) 및 감쇠비(D) 곡선을 구하고 소형과 중형 공진주 시험결과에 대한 비교 분석을 실시하였다.
