초록

차량과 충돌 시 분리되지 않는 감충형 슬라이딩 지주는 충돌 초기에 차량과 일체로 되어 강체운동을 한다. 이때 차량의 선형모멘텀이 지주에 전달되면서 차량의 1차 감속을 이루고 이어서 가이드레일 아래에 설치된 Energy-Absorbing Pipe (EAP)가 찌그러지면서 나머지 충돌에너지를 흡수하여 2차 감속을 이룬다. 따라서 EAP는 슬라이딩 지주의 핵심요소이고 그 크기는 지주기초 안에 설치될 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문은 국내 편 지식 표지판에 많이 사용되는 지주와 베이스구조를 합하여 총 507 kg의 무게를 갖는 감충형 슬라이딩 지주에 사용하기 위한 EAP의 개발에 관한 것이다. LS-DYNA프로그램을 이용한 충돌해석을 통하여 EAP구조를 설계하고 실차충돌실험을 통하여 감충성능을 평가하는 과정을 상세히 설명하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 제시된 EAP는 최소 0.9 ton-60 km/h에서 최대 1.3 ton-80 km/h 충돌에 대한 감충성능을 발휘하고 기초길이가 2.7 m 이하로 제약될 때 활용될 수 있다.

Non-breakaway crashworthy sliding posts move rigidly with a vehicle in the early stage of vehicle impact. During this stage, a vehicle imparts its linear momentum to the post, experiencing first-stage speed loss followed by second-stage loss from the crush of the energy-absorbing pipe (EAP) installed under the guide rail. An EAP is the key element of a crashworthy sliding post and should be confined to the post foundation. This paper covers the development of an EAP for a sliding post of 507 kg, which is a sliding post type frequently used in Korea for cantilever signs. Detailed explanations of the designs for an EAP structure using LS-DYNA impact simulation are given, and the crashworthiness of the systems are confirmed through crash tests. The EAP presented in this paper can accommodate impacts from 0.9 ton-60 km/h to 1.3 ton-80 km/h, and is applicable to foundations up to 2.7 m in length.
