Characteristics of the stress on Continuous Welded Rail(CWR) were investigated to apply to design procedure for railway bridge design. Actions due to change in temperature, braking/traction and bending of the deck were considered in this interaction analysis between CWR and bridge deck. The bridge parameters such as static arrangement of the deck and support stiffness were taken into consideration to examine the influence of the parameters on the additional rail stress. The final results of this study, which include the displacement as well as the stress will be presented in the form of the design chart in future.

This study is to understand the characteristics of axial force behavior that operates to the part of continuous welded rail and to investigate the basic data for secure the structure's stability and retrofit of the track. To develop the FEM model that type of plate girder which is used in the domestic national railway among servicing railway type. It is to analyze the characteristics of axial force behavior according to equip of the expansion joint and support placing by using the axial force simulation in making the continuous welded rail. As the result of research on the parametric valuables through the analysis, it is investigated that 'FMFM type' is more efficient than the other support type. Also, it conclude that structures are having the expansion joint is the most safe condition.

Due to temperature variations, considerable longitudinal rail forces and displacements may develop in continuous welded rail(CWR) track on long-span bridges or viaducts. Excessive relative displacements between sleepers and ballast bed may disturb the stable position of the track in the ballast which results in a lower frictional resistance. Generally, these problems are solved by installing rail expansion devices. However the application of expansion devices in high-speed tracks on existing bridges, as a means to prevent excessive longitudinal displacements and forces, is not attractive method due to comfort, safety and maintenance aspects. An alternative and very effective solution is possibly the use of so-called zero longitudinal restraint(ZLR) fastenings over some length of the track. The calculations, carried out in this respect, show a considerable reduction of track displacements, track forces, and the relative sleeper/ballast displacements. This reduction depends on the length over which these fastenings are installed. In this paper calculations of the longitudinal displacments and forces in a CWR track and substructure resulting from thermal, mechanical and kinematical loads were carried out using the FEM analysis program LUSAS

This research presents the method to decide proper locations for destressing of CWR using a non-destructive equipments to measure the longitudinal force(installation temperature) in CWR. The effect and necessity of destressing were analyzed by estimating changes of longitudinal force. The installation temperature was measured to find changes of longitudinal force in high speed and conventional lines before and after destressing or track maintenance at the locations where destressing was planed or where change of longitudinal force was expected during track maintenance. Past destressing was carried out within qualitative decision criteria. This research proposes the quantitative criteria to decide the priority order of the destressing locations reasonably by considering the difference of air temperature and stress free temperature during the track maintenances, the grade of ballast resistance force recovering and the length of destressing, etc.

Form the application of long rail system the non-ballast steel plate bridges, fatigue strength increase and rail noise reduction can be expected. This is mainly form the reduction of the rail impact at the rail joint locations which already made to behave together from welds. In the high speed rail, application of long rail system is essential because without long rail system, the required serviceability level can not be achieved. But even with this long rail systems, the thermal expansion from the girder can not be absorbed in the normal bearing systems, and these expansion cause between girder and rail. Also unexpected rail buckling and fracture through rail thermal tension may happen. It was found through numerical analysis and field measurement that these problems can be avoided by semi-fixed bearing system. In this study, the benefits of non-ballast plate bridge through long rail system, especially at the point of girder stability, girder stiffness increase and bearing maintenance will be reviewed.

Railway bridges have a significant effect on the stress and displacement of continuous welded rail(CWR). Longitudinal compression force at high temperature, combined breaking or acceleration forces can introduce track buckling. On the other hand, longitudinal tensile forces, associated with low temperatures, in combination with breaking forces may break rail. Therefore, it is very important to work out thorough counter measures for those problems, specially in high speed rail which high safety is required. The exact evaluation of longitudinal force of rail has the key to the solution. The main aim of the present paper is to examine whether the longitudinal force of CWR's on Kyung-Bu-HSR satisfy the criteria to be fulfilled in the design of railway bridge. The analyses are carried out by using "CWRAP" program which was developed by our research group. The ballast resistance and breaking force effects on the longitudinal force of CWR are investigated.

Where the track is continuously welded over a bridge, the longitudinal force is interacted between the track and the sub-structure. Due to this respect, the expansion joint is used to decrease this force. But the expansion joint has several problems related to passenger comfort and maintenance etc. In this study, it is analysed about how the stability of the track is affected as the span length becomes longer in case of 2-span continuos bridge. It is found that there is no problem of an stability unless the span length is longer than 90m when the elastic shoe is used. And several parametric studies were also implemented.

LRB(Lead rubber bearing) has small resistance force against slowly acting loadings such as temporal and creep loadings vice versa large resistance force against rapid loadings such as earthquake and braking loadings. By those mechanical characteristics, it has the advantage to reduce longitudinal load acting on abutments and piers, and moreover to in1prove the running stability of train by restricting the behavior of bridge under the required level. In this study, a stability evaluation method of CWR on the bridge with LRB is presented. Several parametric studies are carried to investigate how LRB contributes to the improvement of CWR stability.

경간사이에 creep-coupler가 설치된 경부 고속철도 교량에 TGV-K 열차의 제동에 의한 교량의 종방향 동적거동을 해석하였다. 교량은 40m 길이의 2경간 연속교이며, 종방향 충격 하중을 인접 경간 혹은 교대로 전달하기 위한 목적으로 인접하고 있는 두 교량 사이의 creep-coupler가 설치되었다. 철도교의 경우에는 레일에 대한 종방향 축력검토가 매우 중요하므로, 이를 지지하고 있는 교량의 하부구조(교각과 기초)의영 향을 고려한 교량의 동적거동해석이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 TGV-K의 실제 제동하중에 의한 KHSR(Korea high speed railway)에 건설중인 실제교량의 동해석을 하부구조와 동특성치를 고려하여 수행하였다. TGV-K는 객차사이에 대차가 위치하므로 전체 열차의 모델링이 한꺼번에 이루어 져야한다. 동핵석을 위해서 열차의 3차원 수치모델링이 이루어졌다. TGV-K의 제동은 동력차의 전기적인 제동에 의한 회생제동력(regenerative braking force)과 객착의 기계적인 판제동(disk braking)으로 이루어진다. 이러한 제동작용의 고려에 실제 TGV-K의 제동함수가 사용되었다.

It is widely known that the temperature variation introduces the axial force along a CWR(Continuous Welded Rail) in the railway bridges. Additional axial forces are generated due to many other reasons. These includes the interaction between the bridge girder and the CWR; acceleration or deceleration of the vehicles; support rotation (or deflection) of the girder. Among aforementioned reasons, this study investigates the influence of the support rotation on additional axial forces throughout the numerical study and the field test. Several strains gauges are installed along the CWR and the strains are measured under passing trains. It is expected that the elaborated estimation of the axial force on CWR will be beneficial for future railway maintenance.
