Abstract

Reinforced trackbeds are an important layer that has a significant effect on the deformation of the track, therefore, a deeper understanding of reinforced trackbeds is necessary. In this paper, we conduct a large triaxial test in order to evaluate the resilient modulus ($M_R$) of reinforced trackbed materials through considering several factors such as the grain size distribution (GSD) and loading conditions. It is identified that the maximum size of the particle, GSD, and compacted water content affect the $M_R$ but the loading frequency does not. Because these tests are performed with consideration of the field environment, the test results are useful for analyzing tracks including reinforced trackbeds. The data are limited to evaluating the parameters of $M_R$ model; however the parameters of the deviatoric and bulk stress models that can be used in various loading conditions are proposed.

철도에서 강화노반은 궤도의 변형에 직접적인 영향을 주는 중요한 노반층이다. 따라서 강화노반재료의 거동에 대한 깊은 이해가 요구된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 철도의 강화노반재료로 사용되는 재료를 대상으로 입도 특성과 시공조건 및 하중조건에 따른 회복탄성계수에 대한 실험적 연구를 대형삼축압축시험으로 수행하였다. 시험 결과 최대입경, 입도분포, 다짐함수비 등이 회복탄성계수로 평가된 재료 성능에 영향을 미치지만 하중 주파수는 큰 영향이 없다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 열차 운행 환경에 적합한 시험 결과를 제시하여 향후 강화노반 재료의 해석 등의 유용한 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 또한 제한적이지만 회복탄성계수 예측 모델에 대한 상수값을 제시하여 다양한 하중조건에 따라 회복탄성계수를 적용하도록 하였다.
