Abstract

Since allowable settlement of concrete slab track is about 30mm, a lot of attention must be paid to the settlement of the earthwork (reinforced trackbed, upper subgrade, under subgrade) under the concrete track. To this end, more experimental data should be accumulated through tests for these materials. In this study, we evaluate the long-term settlement of reinforced trackbed and subgrade materials using factors such as repeated loading conditions, water content, and grain size distributions in a large triaxial test and a large oedometer test. In cases in which the performance of the reinforced trackbed layer meets the design criteria, the settlement caused by train load was considerably small. But, when the water content increases in the subgrade, unexpectedly large settlement might occur for certain grain size distributions of the subgrade materials.

콘크리트궤도의 경우, 허용침하기준이 30mm 이하로 매우 엄격하게 관리되기 때문에, 궤도 하부의 토공노반(강화노반, 상부노반, 하부노반)의 침하에 대한 관리가 필수적으로 요구되고 있다. 이를 위해서는 먼저 이들 노반 재료의 침하특성에 대해 보다 정확한 이해와 자료의 축적이 우선되어야 할 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 노반 재료를 대상으로 대형 오이도미터시험과 삼축압축시험을 통해 여러 입도조건, 함수비 변화조건, 반복하중 조건 등에 의한 장기침하특성을 평가하였다. 강화노반 재료가 설계기준에 적합하게 조성될 경우, 열차하중 하에서 발생되는 침하는 매우 적었다. 한편, 노반재료의 경우 일정 하중 하에서 함수비가 증가할 때, 입도조건에 따라 침하 발생량이 매우 크게 발생할 수 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
