In this study a hybrid safety barrier system consisting of steel rail and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) post is considered. W hile CFRP post is selected for impact energy reflection due to its high strength, steel rail is selected for impact energy absorption due to its high ductility. A numerical model considering the elastoplastic behavior of steel is formulated to simulate the dynamic responses of the hybrid system subject to an impact load. A hybrid roadside guard rail system of steel rail and CFRP post is proposed and analyzed with a case study. The numerical model for the hybrid roadside guard rail system is used to find optimized design of the proposed hybrid system.

Monorail has been classified as straddled type and suspended type. However, Inchon Wolmi Eunha rail, a center guide type first ever introduced in the world, uses a new concept Y-Beam as guide rail. Since Y-Beam takes horizontal loads of monorail through guide wheels, it is an essential structure for the safe operation along with concrete surface and steel beam which take vertical loads through main tires. This study presents the characteristic and reliability of Y-Beam and Y-Beam fixture, clamp, which are not only taking horizontal loads but also guarantying both guiding and stability of monorail and holding power supply line.

본고에서는 열유도 적외선 열화상 기법의 원리와 응용에 있어 기초적인 개념, 특정 상태량 및 실험적 기법에 대하여 소개하도록 한다. 유도 열화상 기법에 적용되는 유도 주파수의 범위는 1500 Hz ~ 52 MHz이며 강자성 강재 단조 부품의 표면결함 검출에 사용되어진다. 균열 검출 감도는 자분탐상기법과 유사하나 필요한 경우 유도 주파수를 낮춤으로서 강재에 숨겨진 결함을 검출할 수 있다. 탄소섬유강화폴리머(CFRP)에서는 섬유 결함을 검출하며, 실리콘 태양 전지에서는 양호한 열적 콘트라스트와 함께 균열을 검출한다. 유도 열화상 기법의 향 후 대표적인 활용분야로는 레일 및 휠과 같은 철도 구성요소에서의 결함 탐상이 있다[1].

Most modern railways, especially the high speed railway tracks, use continuous welded rail(CWR) for the less maintenance. For the CWR track has very few expansion joints, track buckling has always been an unpredictable event and it happens mainly by high compressive stress in rail in summer period. Therefore, it is important to understand the variation of rail stress induced by thermal loads which has direct influence on the rail buckling and stability of railway track. This paper describes the experimental investigation of the variation of rail temperature and stress in a high speed railway track on bridge structure. Field measurement was performed to examine the correlation between the rail temperature and rail stress on the Korean High Speed Railway line. Regression functions were derived from measured data to determine the rail stress f3r an arbitrary rail temperature varies from 20 to 50 degree Celsius.

This study performed a nonlinear finite element crash analysis of guardrail structures using supports made of composite materials. In this study, we used a new [0/90/90/0] laminated Boron fiber composite for resisting the crash effects. Based on the improved ground-structure interaction model, appropriate ground properties to the support were determined. In particular, the complex crash mechanism of guardrails was studied using various parameters. The parametric studies are focused on the various effects of car crash on the structural performance and thickness of supports. The numerical results for various parameters are verified by comparing those using existing steel materials.

Where the track is continuously welded over the bridge, the longitudinal forces will be distributed interactively between the track and the sub-structure by the rail-bridge interaction mechanism. The ratio between the longitudinal forces transmitted in each elements depends on the magnitude of the ballast resistance and the stiffness of the sub-structures. In this paper, the main factors affect on the longitudinal rail force are discussed and the parametric study for the behavior of CWR(Continuous Welded Rail) track was executed. It is concluded that the horizontal ballast resistance and the stiffness of the bridge sub-structure are the significant parameters affecting the stability of the continuous welded rail track.

강철도 플레이트거더교의 경우 일반적으로 레일의 폭보다 거더 사이의 폭이 넓기 때문에 거더에 편심이 작용하게 된다. 이러한 편심 영향으로 거더 내측 상부플랜지에 휨변형이 일어나게 되어, 상부플랜지와 수직보강재 용접이음부에 반복하중에 의한 피로균열이 발생되고 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 공용중인 강철도 플레이트거더교를 대상교량으로 하여 공용하중에 대한 구조해석을 실시하였다. 대상교량에 대한 현장계측을 기초로 구조모델링을 검증하였고, 검증된 구조모델링을 사용하여 열차하중 하에서의 상부플랜지와 수직보강재 용접연결부에서의 피로균열 보강방안에 대한 구조해석을 실시하였다. 또한 상부플랜지와 수직보강재 용접이음부 상세해석을 통하여 피로균열 발생위치를 확인하고 연결이음부의 적절한 보강방안을 제시하고자 한다.

Recently, continuous welded rail (CWR) track has been adopted for railway track structure of great advantages of reducing maintenance costs, and of increasing life time of track components and the comfort of passengers. But, in this case, a temperature or mechanical load will result in high stress and the track breakage or buckling may occur Especially when the CWR is laying on the bridge structure, the relative displacement of these structure can be increased and this results in the instability of track. In this paper, the main factors affect on the longitudinal rail force are discussed and the computer program is developed for the analysis of rail force considering the interactions with sub-structure.

This paper focuses on steel arrays regarding the application of PV system for solar power system, a renewable energy in steel structure stadium that will be built in Korea, by foreign case study. 20 cases of Steel Structure Stadiums applying PV system after 1990 were selected as the main subjects. The 20 cases of Steel Structure Stadiums were categorized by rail systems that were installed to fix PV module. As the result, linear clamping and roof-integrated type among cross rails were 28% of the whole, followed by 17% of rail-fixed type and 11% of module group-fixed type among vertical-fixed types. In addition, linear clamping and roof-integrated type among cross rails were applied in the inside of the stadium while the outside and other parts of stadiums used angle bracket to fix PV module.
