Abstract

The suppression of residual settlement is required on earthwork sections as concrete track is introduced. Use of pile-slab structure is one of the settlement restraining methods applied on soft ground. The slab distributes the upper embankment load and piles transfer the load from the slab to the stiff ground. While this method is very effective in terms of load transfer, it has not yet been established for dealing with the vibration transfer effects and interaction characteristics between a structure and the ground. It is possible that vibration caused by a moving train load is propagated in the upper embankment, because the slab acts as a reflection layer and waves are multi-reflected. In this present paper, wave propagation generated by a moving train load is evaluated in the time and frequency domains to consider a roadbed structure using an artificial impact load and field measured train load. The results confirmed the wave reflection effect on the pile-slab structure, if the embankment height is sufficient, vibration propagation can be stably restrained, whereas if the height is not sufficient, the vibration amplitude is increased.

콘크리트궤도가 도입됨에 따라 토공노반에서의 잔류침하 억제가 중요한 사안으로 대두되고 있다. 파일슬래브구조는 침하억제공법으로서 슬래브는 성토하중을 분산하고 파일은 분산된 하중을 지지층까지 직접 전달시켜 충분히 지지력을 확보하여 침하를 방지한다. 철도노반에 적용시 하중전달특성은 매우 우수하지만, 주행하중에 대한 진동전달 및 상호작용에 대한 특성이 규명되지 않았다. 구조적 특성상 이동하는 열차하중에 의해 발생한 진동은 슬래브를 반사층으로 하여 상부성토체 내에서 다중반사되어 전파할 가능성이 있는데 이는 열차의 주행안정성과 승차감에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 파일슬래브가 설치된 철도노반에서 열차 주행에 의해 발생되는 진동에너지의 전파특성을 평가하기 위하여 인공적인 충격하중과 고속열차의 실측하중을 사용하여 노반구조별 진동전파특성을 시간영역 및 주파수 영역에서 해석하였다. 검토 결과, 파일슬래브 구조에서의 진동 반사효과를 확인하였으며, 적정 성토고가 확보되는 경우에는 진동에 안정적이지만 성토고가 낮은 경우에는 저주파 영역의 진동에너지가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.
