Abstract

Wheel load, design velocity, traffic amount (MGT), stiffness and thickness of sub-layers of asphalt concrete track are selected as performance design parameters in this study. A pseudo-static wheel load computed considering the dynamic amplification factor (DAF) based on the design velocity of the KTX was applied to the top of asphalt concrete track for full three dimensional structural analysis using the ABAQUS program. Tensile strains at the bottom of the asphalt concrete layer and vertical strains at the top of the subgrade were computed from the structural FEA with different combinations of performance parameter values for one asphalt concrete track section. Utilizing the computed structural analysis results such as the tensile strains and the vertical strains, it was possible to develop design graphs to investigate proper track sections for different combination of the performance parameters including wheel load, design velocity, traffic amount(MGT), stiffness and thickness of asphalt concrete layers for any given design life. By analyzing the proposed design graphs for asphalt concrete track, it was possible to propose simple design tables that can be used by engineers for the effective and fast design of track.

본 연구에서는 광폭 침목형 아스팔트콘크리트 궤도의 최적 도상 두께와 설계수명 결정을 위한 설계그래프를 개발하기 위하여, 주요 성능 파라미터로서 윤중 및 설계속도, 교통량 (MGT), 각층 재료 강성, 아스팔트콘크리트 도상 두께 등을 설정하였다. KTX 설계속도를 반영, 동적 할증계수를 고려한 준정적 윤중을 계산하고 이를 아스팔트콘크리트 궤도 상부에 재하시 아스팔트콘크리트 도상 하면에 발생하는 인장 변형률 및 흙노반 상면에서의 수직변형률을 ABAQUS프로그램을 활용하여 3차원 구조해석을 통해 산정하였다. 임의 성능 파라미터의 조합을 달리 구성하면서 임의 아스팔트콘크리트 궤도구조 단면에 대한 구조해석을 실시하였다. 계산된 아스팔트콘크리트 도상 하면 인장 변형률과 흙 노반상 수직 변형률을 손상이론에 적용하여 임의 궤도 단면구성과 성능 파라미터 조합 시에 기대할 수 있는 광폭 침목형 아스팔트콘크리트 궤도의 설계수명을 예측할 수 있는 설계그래프를 개발하였다. 이 설계그래프를 바탕으로 실무에서 간단히 설계 목적으로 활용할 수 있는 광폭 침목형 아스팔트콘크리트 궤도구조의 설계수명 50년에 대응하는 설계표를 개발하였다.
