Analysis on the Reinforcement Effect for Large Type Sleeper on Transition zone between Earthwork and Tunnel

터널/토공 접속부에 대한 대형침목 보강효과 분석

It is very important to pay careful attention to construction of earthwork/tunnel transition zone for railway. The transition zone of the railway is the section which roadbed stiffness is suddenly varied. Differences in stiffness have dynamic effects and these increase the forces in the track and the extent of deformation. In this study, performance of transition zone was investigated through the field tests. The wheel loads and sleeper settlement were measured after installing field testing sections.
