Changes in substructure conditions, such as ballast fouling and subgrade settlement may cause the railway quality deterioration, including the differential geometry of the rails. The objective of this study is to develop and apply a hybrid cone penetrometer (HCP) to characterize the railway substructure. The HCP consists of an outer rod and an inner mini cone, which can dynamically and statically penetrate the ballast and the subgrade, respectively. An accelerometer and four strain gauges are installed at the head of the outer rod and four strain gauges are attached at the tip of the inner mini cone. In the ballast, the outer rod provides a dynamic cone penetration index (DCPI) and the corrected DCPI (CDCPI) with the energy transferred into the rod head. Then, the inner mini cone is pushed to estimate the strength of the subgrade from the cone tip resistance. Laboratory application tests are performed on the specimen, which is prepared with gravel and sandy soil. In addition, the HCP is applied in the field and compared with the standard dynamic cone penetration test. The results from the laboratory and the field tests show that the cone tip resistance is inversely proportional to the CDCPI. Furthermore, in the subgrade, the HCP produces a high-resolution profile of the cone tip resistance and a profile of the CDCPI in the ballast. This study suggests that the dynamic and static penetration tests using the HCP may be useful for characterizing the railway substructure.

In 1st Phase Kyeong-Bu High-Speed Line, to lessen the impact in the transition zone between concrete slab track(in tunnel) and ballasted track(on embankment), the ballast bonding method has been adopted. However, in this area, in the beginning of the operation, unsupported sleepers are found, and the track deterioration and damage of concrete sleepers have occurred. In this paper, the status and causes of unsupported sleepers are discussed and several repair measures are proposed.

The superstructure of the railway track undertakes the forces that develop during train passage and distributes them towards its seating. The track panel plays a key role in terms of load distribution, while at the same time it maintains the geometrical distance between the rails. The substructure and ballast undergo residual deformations under high stresses that contribute to the deterioration of the so-called geometry of the track. The track stiffness is the primary contributing factor to the amount of the stresses that develop on the substructure and is directly influenced by the fastening resilience. Four methods from the international literature are used in this paper to calculate the loads and stresses on the track substructure and the results are compared and discussed. A parametric investigation of the stresses that develop on the substructure of different types of railway tracks (i.e. balastless vs ballasted) is performed and the results are presented as a function of the total static track stiffness.

In track a third weakness point is joint part, turnout part, curve part. One of them joint part of rail have been known to the most weak point by loosen of joint bar and fish bolt due to impulse and vibration by wheel contact at times. In addition happen to deformation and failure at end of rail, failure and miniature of ballast gravel. Finally impact between wheel and rail become origin cause of a welded rail, noise and vibration. riding condition deterioration, besides track failure. In the present domestic, Thermite and Gas pressure weldings have been used to continuous welded rail(CWR), however stiffness and confidence in quality is lower than Flash butt welding method. FRW have the excellent capacity, however have a shortcoming large scale of machine and power equipment. Therefore we will introduce Mobile Flash Butt Welder can weld in track.

선박의 평형수처리장치 전해조 내부 용액은 해수를 전기분해 시 DSA(Dimension Stable Anode) 전극에서 생성되는 수산화물로 인하여 높은 알칼리성 분위기를 생성한다. 본 연구에서는 기존 평형수처리장치 배관에 사용되어지는 PE 코팅 강관 배관의 취약성을 대체 가능한 복합재료로써 4가지 소재를 선정하였으며, 이들 BRE(Basalt fiber reinforced epoxy), BRP(Basalt fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester), GRE(Glass fiber reinforced epoxy), GRP(Glass fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester)를 강 알칼리성 NaOH 용액에 720시간 침지 후 마찰 및 마모 시험을 통하여 재료 마찰 깊이에 따른 마찰계수와 섬유와 수지 간 계면 결합 거동을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 수지와 섬유 간의 게면 분리 현상에 대한 메커니즘을 도출하였다. 또한, 불포화폴리에스테르와 같이 상대적으로 낮은 계면 결합력의 갖는 소재의 경우, 알칼리성 용액에 침지 시간이 길어질수록 표면에서부터 시작된 열화가 내부로 급격하게 확산되어 마찰 계수의 감소로 이어지는 경향을 나타냈다.

본 연구에서는 환경적인 요인으로 인한 성능저하현상으로 내구성 저하가 예상되는 건대-구의간 고가교의 현재 상태를 분석하고 내구성 저하로 인한 내구연한의 감소를 막기 위하여 고가교 구조물의 경량화를 통한 성능개선을 수행하고자 한다. 경량화 작업은 콘크리트 방음벽을 경량재 방음벽으로, 도상을 자갈도상에서 콘크리트 도상으로, 마지막으로 트라프를 경량화 함으로써 고가교 전체의 경량화를 유도한다. 이러한 고가교 경량화에 따른 정적 및 동적 거동 변화와 성능개선 효과를 분석하고, PSC I 형교 구간의 내하율 증진에 의한 구조안전성을 확인한다. 경량화 결과 구조물의 처짐이 2.6mm가 감소하고 1.07MPa의 인장응력이 감소된 것으로 평가되어 대상 구조물의 구조성능이 효과적으로 개선되었음을 알 수 있다. 고유진동수도 경량화에 따라 약 30% 증가하여 진동이 감소하고 동적거동이 향상되었다. 또한, 해석 및 계측 결과를 근거로 하여 대상교량의 내하력을 평가한 결과, 경량화에 따라 내하율이 1.82에서 1.93으로 증가하여 경량화에 따른 성능개선 효과가 우수한 것으로 판명되었다.
