Superimposition of horizontal and vertical curves may hamper the ride comfort and running stability of train and largely affect the maintenance costs. However, in many cases, it is not easy to make a track alignment plan because of the geographic conditions or undesirable environmental factors. In this paper, a comparative study on the effect of superimposition of vertical and horizontal curve on the ride comfort and optimum horizontal curve conditions was performed. That is, optimal cant and ride comfort analysis with and without a vertical curve superimposed on the horizontal curve were evaluated. Also the superimposition effect on ride comfort and alignment conditions in high speed zone were evaluated. From the analysis results, it was found that the ride comfort is similar to that at the only horizontal curves when applying the compensation cant for the superimposed site.

In railway construction, superimposition of horizontal and vertical curves has critical effects on the running stability and the ride comfort of vehicles as well as on construction costs. In this study, running safety, ride comfort, and track acting forces were analyzed by a numerical analysis using the VAMPIRE program according to cases of superimposition of vertical and horizontal curves. From the analysis results, it was found that running safety, riding comfort, and track acting forces in the case of superimposition of vertical and horizontal curves as well as vertical and transition curves meet all of the criteria. Also, in the case of the superimposition of vertical curves and curvature change between horizontal transition curves and circular curves meet all of the criteria.

Superimposition of vertical and transition curves is not allowed for all types of tracks in Korean regulation of railway construction. However, this criterion has been established on the basis of difficulty of maintenance of the ballasted track. Comparing with the ballasted track, the concrete slab track has the advantage of maintenance and structural, which allows the superimposition of vertical and transition curves when it satisfies the criteria of running safety and riding comfort. In this study, running safety, ride comforts and track acting forces were analyzed and compared by numerical analysis using VAMPIRE program when the vertical and transition curves are superimposed for the ballasted track as well as the concrete slab track. From the analysis results, it was found that running safety, riding comforts and track acting forces in case of superimposition of vertical and transition curves for the both tracks meet all of the criteria. Therefore, although superimposition of vertical and transition curves for the ballasted track is not allowed because of a lot of maintenance works, it can be applied to the concrete slab track considering the advantage of maintenance and structural safety.

When the horizontal and vertical curves are superimposed in railway alignments, which affects the running stability, ride comfort, and track maintenance costs. However, when designing new lines or realigning existing ones, there are many cases of superimposition caused by the existing fixed points (bridge, tunnel, turnout, and catenary system, etc) on the conventional lines and undesirable impacts on the environment, etc. In this study, when the horizontal and vertical curves are superimposed, in order to optimize the horizontal curve in aspect of the ride comfort, the object function was developed and verified by vehicle dynamic analysis. Also, the solution algorithm for simplified evaluation method was presented.

Superimposition of horizontal and vertical curves may hamper the ride comfort and the running stability of train and largely affect the maintenance cost. However, in many cases, it's not easy to make a track plan because of the fixed points (bridge, tunnel, turnout, catenary system, etc.) to be avoided due to the geographic conditions or to be passed for utilization of existing structures. In this study, when the horizontal and vertical curves are superimposed, in order to optimize the horizontal curve in aspect of the ride comfort, the object function $P_{CT}$ was developed and verified by vehicle dynamic analysis. Also, the solution algorithm for simplified evaluation method was presented.

종방향 유속의 연직분포 흐름 특성을 파악하기 위해서 중심각이 $180^{\circ}$인 급변곡선수로에서 실험을 수행하였다. 3차원 유속장 측정은 side-looking ADV를 이용하였다. 실험결과, 흐름이 하류 방향으로 진행함에 따라서 최대 종방향 유속이 하상 근처에서 발생하였으며, 이차류에 의한 이송모멘텀의 분포 값이 바뀌는 단면에서 종방향 유속의 연직분포가 대수분포를 만족하지 않음을 파악하였다 직선하천과는 달리 만곡부 내에서 흐름이 하류방향으로 진행함에 따라서 종방향 유속의 연직분포가 변형되는 현상과 관련된 메카니즘은 지형학적 원인에 의한 원심력 작용은 이차류를 발생시키며, 이로 인해 이송 모멘텀이 종방향 유속의 연직분포를 변형시킨다.

전라북도 장안산의 72군락 지점에서 식물사회학적 조사에 의하여 구분된 10개 군락. 즉 신갈나무 군락, 신갈나무-철쭉꽃 군락, 신갈나무-노린재나무 군락, 신갈나무-졸참나무 군락, 졸참나무 군락, 굴참나무 군락, 서어나무 군락, 물푸레나무 군락, 층층나무 군락, 들메나무 군락에서 풍부도지수, 이질성지수, 균등도지수, 우점도지수를 산출하여 고도, 토양 특성 및 우점종군에 따른 종다양성의 변활르 분석하였으며 종서열-중요치 곡선을 이용하여 각 식물의 우점서열을 결정하고 각 종이 식물군락 내의 자원을 어떻게 분배하고 있는가를 결정하였다 고도, 토양요인(pH, base) 및 우점종의 차이는 삼림의 종 다양성에 영향을 미치는 중요한 변수로서 작용하였으며 우점종군에 따른 다양성의 변화는 지형과 교란에 의하여 영향을 받았다 종서열-중요치 곡선에서 조사된 10개 군락은 대수정규분포에 접근하고 있어서 군락간 약간의 차이는 있지만 대체적으로 어떤 특정 종이 군집 내 자원 공간을 독점하지 않고 적절히 분배하여 사용하고 있었다.

Superimposition of horizontal and vertical curves occurs frequently owing to geographical conditions. It may hamper train ride comfort and running safety and inflate maintenance costs. In this study, when the horizontal and vertical curves are superimposed, in order to analyze the effects of the compensation cant, the analytical study for running safety, ride comfort and track forces was performed in high speed line. From the analysis results, it was found that it is better to apply the compensation cant at superimposition part.
