Abstract

Due to the absence of design guidelines for elevated light-rail structures in Korea, most elevated light-rail structures have been designed and constructed based on the design codes of conventional railway bridges and on the codes recommended by foreign vehicle manufacturers. This is the main reason why most elevated light-rail structures are massive or over-designed or poorly constructed economically. In this paper, the authors carried out field tests to analyze the braking forces caused by braking a train running at speeds of 50km/h, 60km/h, and 70km/h, acting on the elevated structures of rubber-wheeled Light Rail Transit (LRT) trains. The authors also briefly describe the analyzed results of the braking force acting on the substructures of elevated light-rail structures. The test-results presented here in this paper can be referenced when establishing design guidelines or standards for elevated structures of LRT systems.

국내에 건설 운영 중인 경전철 고가구조물은 설계 당시 경전철 고가구조물 설계기준이 마련되어 있지 않아 일반 철도교 설계기준 및 국외 차량제작사에서 제시한 설계기준을 참조하여 설계된 관계로, 고가구조물이 과다 설계되어 비경제적으로 건설된 주된 이유가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고무차륜형 경량전철이 고가구조물 위를 각각 50km/h, 60km/h, 70km/h의 속도로 주행 중 5개 제동 지점별로 제동 시 고가 하부구조물에 작용하는 제동하중을 현장 계측시험을 통해 분석하였고, 현재 설계시 반영되고 있는 철도설계기준과 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 제동하중 시험분석 결과는 향후 경전철 고가구조물 설계기준 제정 시 참조될 수 있다.
