Abstract

Recently a limited section of trackbed with ballast at KTX railway were reported to have settled down and led to problems such as reduced speed and passenger discomfort. Therefore, an urgent remedy for the settled trackbed is required to recover normal operation of KTX trains. In this paper, a new technique is proposed to visualize the elastic modulus of cross sections at railway trackbeds under ballast for practical identification of potential settlement. The proposed technique is based on ICSW technique, enabling use of impact source and overcoming inherent limitations of CSW method. To verify validity and feasibility of the proposed method, the method was employed to construct cross-sectional images of elastic modulus of two railway trackbeds and compared with other tests such as SASW, PBT, DCP and portable FWD tests.

최근 경부고속철도 자갈도상 구간의 일부에서 침하가 발생되고 이로 인하여 열차의 안전 및 운행속도와 승차감 저하라는 문제가 발생하였다. 따라서 이 문제를 해결하고 KTX 열차 운행을 정상화하기 위한 긴급대책이 요구된 적이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 현장의 요구에 대처하기 위해 철도노반 단층영상화 기법을 도입하게 되었다. 철도노반 단층영상화 기법은 철도노반의 지반강성을 단층영상의 형태로 가시화함으로써, 잠재적으로 과도한 침하를 유발할 수 있는 철도노반의 연약부위를 찾는데 있어서 현장기술자의 신속한 판단을 가능하게 하는 기법이다. 제안된 기법의 타당성과 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 실제 자갈도상 철도노반과 신설 철도노반 등 두 현장에 적용하여 보았고, SASW, PBT, DCP, FWD 시험결과와 비교하였다.
