The construction of high speed railways and improvement projects of for conventional railways require straight railway lines of railway, which leads to an increase of bridge and tunnel construction. Transition zones in railways means that the track support stiffness is variedvaries in over short ranges. Sspecial attention is required in theose transition zones since because instability of train running in train and irregularities of track irregularities are can frequently occurred. Typical transition zones are between bridges and earthworks and between tunnels and earthworks. On In a transition zone, a bridge abutment transition zone has many problems in with various causes. In this paper, fundamental problems of bridge abutment transition zones is are analyzed to enhance the understanding about of bridge abutment transition zones. Suggestions for improving problems in the transition zones are proposed.

The transition is the zone where support stiffness suddenly increases in the railway industry. If the support stiffness increases, differential settlement will occur at the transition due to difference of stiffness, and the differential settlement causes problems for the train running safety and the roadbed that supports the track. In particular, a study on differential settlement at bridge-earthwork transition was only conducted to considering railway load in most cases. However, these studies have not taken account of earthquake despite earthquake has been occurred frequently in the recent, and it is necessary to consider earthquake. Therefore, in this study numerical analysis has been performed by changing the inclination of approach block, which determines the shape of the transition, and earthwork in order to verify the effect of the shape of the transition on the dynamic behavior at the bridge-earthwork transition. The result shows that the dynamic behavior at the bridge-earthwork transition was affected by the shape of transition.

The transition zone of the railway is the section which roadbed stiffness is suddenly varied like as tunnel-earthwork, bridge-earthwork and concrete track-ballasted track. There are about 450 tunnel-bridge transition sections on Kyungbu high-speed railway line. It is very important to pay careful attention to construction of these transition zones, in order to secure the train running safety. So, we developed a finite element model of the moving wheel loading to simulate the behavior of bridge-earthwork transitions in this paper. The most distinctive characteristics of the model proposed is to simulate the real wheel behavior on rail. And the main analysis object is to evaluate and compare the deformation characteristics of the transition zone according to the reinforcement methods and length of transition zone which is adopted to high-speed railway. Based on the analysis results, we assessed the effect of the reinforcements on the transition zone of high-speed railway.

토목 기술의 발달로 장대교량이 증가함에 따라 교면 포장도 더 심각한 진동 및 충격, 기상조건에 노출되게 된다. 교면 포장은 차량의 주행의 편리성뿐 아니라 교량 구조물을 보호해야 하는 역할도 함께 수행하기 때문에 일반 토공부의 포장과 다른 성능을 필요로 한다. 교면 포장의 특수함을 감안하여 교면 포장의 품질을 평가하고, 설계와 적용시 반영 한다면 교량의 내구 연한 및 시공, 유지관리 비용을 절감 할 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 교면 포장에 요구되는 성능을 조사하고, 교면 포장 특히, 장대 교량 적용시 교면 포장의 성능 평가를 위한 평가 방법을 고찰하였다. 교면 포장의 가장 큰 구조적 특징은 교량의 진동과 휨에 의해 포장이 받게 되는 휨응력이다. 특히 교량의 장경간화에 따라 더 큰 진동과 변형을 경험하게 되는 교면 포장은 그에 따른 충분한 휨 추종성과 피로 저항성을 확보하여야 한다. 기존 토공부 포장에서는 실험이 간단한 원통형 공시체를 이용한 간접인장강도 모드의 실험으로 피로 성능을 평가하였으나, 교면 포장은 실제 거동 특성과 유사한 빔 피로 시험 모드가 보다 신뢰성이 높을 것으로 판단된다. 빔 피로시험 모드로는 3점, 4점, 5점 휨 피로 시험 모드가 있으며, 각각의 모드는 지지점의 개수, 재하점의 개수에 따라 다른 거동 특성을 평가 할 수 있다. 최근 개발된 5점 휨 시험의 경우 교량에서 발생하는 부(-)모멘트를 모사할 수 있어 보다 현실적인 검증이 가능할 것으로 예상된다. 이 외에도 실제 크기 모형을 이용하여 윤하중을 가하는 Full-scale 모델의 경우 비용과 시간이 많이 소요되는 단점이 있으나 가장 신뢰성이 높은 방법이라고 할 수 있다. 교면 포장은 교량구조부로 수분이 침투되는 것을 막아주는 역할을 하여야 하며, 특히 해상 교량의 경우의 염분과 겨울철 사용되는 제빙화학제는 콘크리트의 열화와 강구조물의 부식을 발생시키므로 교면 포장의 방수 성능 검토는 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 일반 토공부 포장과 달리 교면 포장은 하부층이 대기에 노출되어 있기 때문에 겨울철에 더 낮은 온도로 포장체의 온도가 내려가게 되고, 온도가 떨어진 포장층은 스티프니스가 증감함에 따라 저온 균열의 발생확율이 높아지며, 휨추종성도 나빠질 가능성이 높다. 따라서 저온에서의 균열 저항성 및 스티프니스를 평가하는 것은 교면 포장 재료의 중요한 인자 중 하나이다. 포장과 포장 하부층의 접착은 포장층의 일체화된 거동을 할 수 있게 하기 때문에 내구성 향상에 중요하다. 특히 교량과 같이 진동과 변형이 많은 경우에 있어 포장 접착층의 성능은 포장과 교량 구조물의 파손에 더 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 접착성능은 실내에서의 직접인장모드와 전단접착강도 시험 모드의 실험이 있으며, 현장에서 측정하는 Pull-off 실험 등이 있다. 최근에 교통량과 중차량의 증가와 더불어 교량이 장경간화 되어 가면서 평가방법과 기준을 과거보다 엄격하게 할 필요성이 있다. 하지만 현실은 교면포장에 대한 시방규정이 모호하기 때문에 본 논문에서 제시한 국내외의 다양한 평가방법을 통해 적절한 교면포장의 성능을 평가하고 교면포장의 거동특성에 대한 이해를 함으로써 보다 발전된 교량기술을 확보할 수 있을 것이다.

The transition zone between an earthwork and a bridge effect to the vehicle's running stability because support stiffness of the roadbed is suddenly changed. The design criteria for the transition structure on ballast track were not particular in the past. However with the introduction of concrete track is introduced, it requires there is a higher performance level required because of maintenance and running stability. In this present paper, a transition structure reinforced with geosynthetics is suggested to improve the performance of existing bridge-earthwork transition structures. The suggested transition structure, in which there is reinforcing of the approach block using high-tension geosynthetics, has a structure similar to that of earth reinforced abutments. The utilized backfill materials are cement treated soil and gravel. These materials are used to reduce water intrusion into the approach block and to increase the recycling of surplus earth materials. An experiment was performed under the same conditions in order to allow a comparison of this new structure with the existing transition structure. Evaluation items are elastic displacement, cumulative settlement, and earth pressure. As for the results of the real-scale accelerated testing, the suggested transition structure has excellent performance for the reduction of earth pressure and settlement. Above all, it has high resistance the variation of the water content.

The development of railway roadbed for 600km/h train speed level is very difficult because unpredictable static and dynamic interaction occurs between the ultra-high speed train and the infrastructure. Especially, an earthwork-bridge transition zone is a section in which influential factors react, such as bearing capacity, compression, settlement, drainage, and track irregularity; these interactions can include complicated dynamic interaction. Therefore, if static and dynamic stability are secured in transition zones, it is possible to develop roadbeds for ultra-high speed railways. In the present paper, design parameters for transition reinforcement applied to present railway design criteria are analytically examined for ultra-high speed usage on a preferential basis. Design parameters are the presence of reinforcing materials, geometric shape, stiffness of materials, and so on. Analysis is focused on the deformation response of the track and running stability at ultra-high speed.

The national government is pushing hard the adoption of the BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology in the construction industry. The BIM application provides a visualized environment where the construction manager can inspect the structure of buidling structures. The application also provides information on activity progresses as well as earned values. However, BIM is mostly applied to visualize a structural object with definite forms. The BIM technology needs to be extended to include an object with non-definite forms such as earthwork operations. The objective of this study is to present a prototype of earthwork BIM in the construction operation. The prototype has been built on the attributes of geological information, construction equipment and positioning. The prototype of earthwork BIM shows a 3D graphic simulation of construction equipment moving around for digging and loading.

The transition area between a bridge and an earthwork is one of the weakest area of track because of the track geometry deterioration caused unequal settlement of backfill of abutment. In case of a ballastless track, the approach slab could be installed to prevent such a phenomenon. But, if there is occurred the inclined displacement on the approach slab by a settlement of the foundation or formation, the track is also under the inclined displacement. And this defect causes reducing the running stability of a vehicle, the riding comfort of passengers, and increasing the track deteriorations by excessive impact force acting on the track. In this study, parametric studies were performed to investigate the displacement limit on the approach slab to avoid such problems. The length and the amount of unequal settlement of approach slab were adopted as parameter for numerical analysis considering vehicle-track interaction. Car body accelerations, variations of wheel force, stresses in rail, and uplift forces induced on fastener clip were investigated. From the result, resonable settlement limit on the end of an approach slab according to slab length was suggested.
