Many infra suructure such as road, railway, building and utility foundations have been damaged by the repeated freezing and thawing of the soil during winter and spring every year in seasonal frost region. The frost penetration depth is most important factor in the design of structure such as road, railway and building in seasonal frost region. This paper presents the results of calculation of frost penetration depth and frost heaving in concrete track for railway construction. Model concrete track were installed near the railway track in Gangwon, Gyeonggi, Choongbuk province and frost penetration depth were measured using methylene blue frost penetration depth gauge. Model concrete track in Cheolwon, frost heaving of concrete track were also evaluated. The measure of maximum frost penetration depth and frost heaving can be applied to design railway track for cold region in Korea.

In this study, proposed is the methodology to determine the upper limit for stiffness of rail pad for the ballasted and concrete track in high-speed railway in the viewpoint of running safety, considering the dynamic characteristics of train and track and the operation environment. For the track irregularity, one of the most important input parameters for traintrack interaction analysis, the reference vertical track irregularity PSDs(power spectral densities) for the ballasted and concrete track in a wide range of frequencies were proposed based on those presented in France and Germany and that obtained from the measured data at Kyeong-Bu 1st phase high-speed railway line. Using these reference PSD models, the input data for the vertical track irregularity data were regenerated by random generation process, and then, the wheel load reduction rates according to the stiffness of the rail pads have been calculated by the train-track interaction analysis technique. Finally, by comparing the wheel load reduction rates calculated with the derailment criteria prescribed in the Korean standards for railway vehicle safety criteria, the upper limits for the stiffness of rail pad have been proposed.

This study looked into the behavior of precast concrete track due to temperature variation and initial track deformation and examined the effect of initial deformation and deformation caused by temperature gradient on the stress distribution of slab under train load. In this paper, one of two papers in a series, a finite element analysis model for calculating deformation and stress of precast concrete track was proposed; the temperature distribution and displacements measured at the precast concrete track in the field were compared with the analytical results. The results show that the slab always curled up due to initial deformation; by comparing the measured displacements with the displacements calculated by taking measured temperatures at each depth as input, the effective built-in temperature (EBITD), the temperature difference between the top and bottom of the slab corresponding to the initial deformation, can be estimated. If EBITD is relevantly assumed, the calculated displacements correlate well with the measured ones.

It is a fact that the straightening of track alignment is one of the undoubted ways to improve the train speed on conventional lines, while that requires huge investment resources. Therefore, the operation of a tilting train as well as the minimum improvement of track is suggested as an effective and economical alternative way for the speed-up of conventional lines. Since a driving mechanism of tilting train is different from those of existing trains, in order to make sure its operation safety and stability on conventional line, the performance of track and roadbed must be preferentially evaluated on the conventional line. Furthermore, it is necessary to estimate the tilting-train-induced roadbed response in detail since the roadbed settlement can lead to the track deformation and even derailment. In this research, the patterns of wheel load and lateral force were monitored and analyzed through the field tests, and the derailment coefficient and degree of wheel off-loading were calculated in order to evaluate the tilting train running safety depending on the running speeds (120km~180km) on the conventional line. Moreover, roadbed pressure, settlement and acceleration were also observed as tilting-train-induced roadbed responses in order to estimate the roadbed stability depending on the running speeds. Consequently, the measured derailment coefficient and degree of wheel off-loading were satisfied with their own required limits, and all of the roadbed responses were less than those of existing high-speed train (KTX) over an entire running speed range considered in this study. As a result of this study, the tilting train which will be operated in combination with existing trains is expected to give no adverse impact on the conventional line even with its improved running speed.

Ride comfort of a vehicle can be utilized to maintain the track geometry and track irregularities because ride comfort of the rolling stock is affected by the characteristics of the vehicle and track. Ride comfort was evaluated according to the measured floor acceleration data of vehicles for a Korean high speed line as well as European high speed lines using Continuous comfort method which can be applied to track maintenance. The exceedance distribution of the ride comfort was quantitatively analyzed by the vehicle speed, the ride comfort of the Korean high speed line was compared with that of European high speed lines. It is shown that the ride comfort of Korean high speed line is better than that of European high speed lines, which indicates that the Korean track geometry and track irregularities are properly maintained.

There is an increasing tendency to try to make predictive analysis using measurement data based on machine learning techniques in the railway industries. In this paper, it was predicted that Track quality index (TQI) using vehicle acceleration data based on the machine learning method. The XGB (XGBoost) was the most accurate with 85% in the all data sets. Unlike the SVM model with a single algorithm, the RF and XGB model with a ensemble system were considered to be good at the prediction performance. In the case of the Surface TQI, it is shown that the acceleration of the z axis is highly related to the vertical direction and is in good agreement with the previous studies. Therefore, it is appropriate to apply the model with the ensemble algorithm to predict the track quality index using the vehicle vibration acceleration data because the accuracy may vary depending on the applied model in the machine learning methods.

An application of concrete track is being activity processed for the construction of Korean railroad. The concrete track has an advantage to decrease the maintenance fee, but is very difficult to control the settlement of ground and embankment consisting of substructure of concrete track below the allowable settlement level. This is the reason why the measurement and evaluation of both ground and embankment settlement before the installation of the concrete track is very important. One ground, a lower subgrade, and five surface settlements are measured to understand the settlement behavior of ground and embankment settlement. The period to measure settlements was more than 1 year after the completion of embankment. In this test site, ground settlement was over during the construction of embankment, but the embankment settlement are being continuously proceeded after the completion of embankment. The settlement velocity gradually is slowing down as time goes by. This paper also analysed the reasons of abrupt settlement increase and concluded that the rainfall was one of the important reason to increase settlement rate.

위성은 준 실시간으로 국토 전체의 관측과 미계측/비접근 지역의 관측도 가능하여 가뭄, 홍수 등 수재해와 관련된 분석 자료로 활용되고 있으며, 위성 기반의 수재해 모니터링 적용성에 대한 연구 또한 수행되고 있다. 위성에서 관측된 자료는 NASA, JAXA 등의 위성 관리 센터에서 알고리즘을 적용하여 인터넷으로 제공하고, 최근 K-water에서는 수자원분야의 위성활용을 위해 위성 자료 수집 시스템을 갖추어 Aqua/Terra MODIS, GPM, GCOM-W1 등의 위성 자료를 수집하고 있다. 위성 자료는 5분~16일 등의 다양한 주기로 제공되고 있으며, 자료 타입, 측정 시간 등의 간단한 정보만 파일명으로 표시되어 위성의 위치(경위도) 및 해당 지점의 위성 자료를 얻기 위해서는 위성 자료를 확인해야만 하는 번거로움이 따른다. 본 연구에서는 순차적으로 관측된 위성 자료의 시 공간적 속성정보를 추출하고 해당 정보를 영상과 함께 맵핑하여, 시간의 흐름에 따른 위성 궤도의 시각화 방안을 제시하였다. 위성 궤도의 시각화 방안으로 사용된 위성 자료는 Terra MODIS의 'MOD02SSH', GPM GMI 센서의 'GPROF' 자료 타입을 사용하였다. 'MOD02SSH'는 5분 동안 5km의 공간해상도로 측정한 자료가 1개의 파일이며, 'GPROF'는 5분 동안 4km의 공간해상도로 측정한다. 공전 주기의 검증을 위해 케플러의 제3법칙을 적용한 Terra 위성의 공전주기는 98.75분으로 계산되며, 위성 자료의 공전주기는 98.87분으로 나타난다. 검증 결과 약 0.12초의 오차가 발생하며, 정확한 위성 고도와 높은 해상도의 위성 자료를 통해 오차의 감소가 가능하다. 이를 통해 시각화 된 동적 시계열 이미지는 시간에 따른 위성 궤도의 정보를 추출 할 수 있다. 이는 수재해 정보시스템의 모니터링을 위해 사용 가능하고, 시간에 따른 위성 궤도 정보를 통하여 필요한 시간대의 위성 위치 정보, 해당 지점의 관측 자료를 효율적으로 수집하여 자료 수집을 위한 시간 단축이 가능하며, 사용자 또는 관리자를 위한 모니터링 수행 또한 효율적인 운영이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

아리랑위성 1호는 1999년 12월 21일 발사되어 3년의 설계 임무 수명을 성공적으로 완료하였으며 현재 위성체의 특이한 이상 상태 없이 안정적으로 연장 운영되고 있다. 위성이 성공적으로 임무를 수행하기 위해서는 태양전지 및 배터리 등의 기능이 적절하게 유지되어야 한다. 위성의 전력을 생산하는 태양 전지는 여러 가지 복사 및 운영중의 온도차와 같은 우주환경 등에 의해서 서서히 성능이 감소하게 되고, 배터리 또한 온도상승 등으로 인해서 성능이 감소하게 된다. 또한 위성의 궤도평면과 태양 벡터 사이의 각으로 정의되는 베타각($\beta$)에 의해서 식기간의 변화 및 온도 변화로 인해서 전력계에도 변화가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 정상운영 초기부터 현재까지 실제 운영 궤도상에서 얻어진 원격계측자료(Telemetry)를 이용하여 전력계의 주요 부분 변화를 살펴보았다.
