The excessive axial load occurred in an immovable zone of continuous welded rail(CWR) tracks threatens the security of running trains due to the track buckling in extreme hot summer. The influence factors, such as rail temperature for compressive stress, ballast resistance for track stiffness and initial imperfection of track for tracks irregularity are uncertain track parameters that are randomly varied by climate conditions, operating conditions and maintenance of track etc. So, buckling of CWR tracks has very high uncertainties. Therefore, applying the probabilistic approach method is essential in order to rationally consider the uncertainty and randomness of the various parameters. In this study, buckling sensitivity analysis was carried out with respect to the characteristics of probability distribution of lateral ballast resistance using the buckling probability evaluation system of CWR tracks developed by our research team.

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

The buckling characteristics of the continuous welded rail track(CWR) is uncertainly varied by many influence factors, such as rail temperature, operating conditions of a train and maintenance of the track etc. Therefore, applying the probabilistic approach method is essential to rationally consider uncertainty and randomness of the various parameters that affect the track buckling. In this study, the probabilistic approach analysis was carried out and the results were compared with the deterministic approach using the buckling probability evaluation system of CWR tracks developed by our research team. From the comparison, it was identified that a probabilistic approach can quantitatively assess the reliability of the CWR tracks based on failure probability and can be used as a tool for decision making in track design, maintenance and operating etc.

본 연구에서는 도시철도 콘크리트궤도 장대레일에 대한 실내피로시험을 수행하였고, 장대레일 잔존수명을 표현한 파괴확률 50% S-N 선도는 적은 실험데이터에 대한 가중치 확률 해석기법을 사용하여 도출하였다. 여기서 피로시험에 사용된 레일들이 누적통과톤수가 서로 다르기 때문에 누적통과톤수를 평균하여 반복횟수를 수정하였다. 또한, 레일표면요철 및 열차속도를 고려한 레일 저부 휨응력은 기존 연구결과 도출된 레일휨응력 예측식을 사용하여 콘크리트궤도 장대레일의 잔존수명을 평가하였다. 레일 피로수명 평가결과, 레일 피로수명이 기준치에 비해 약 2억톤이상 높았다. 또한, 자갈궤도에 비해 콘크리트궤도 레일의 피로수명이 약 3억톤이상 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 도시철도에서 레일교체기준을 자갈궤도와 콘크리트궤도로 구분할 필요가 있으며, 레일연마를 통한 레일관리가 이루어진다면 기준치가 아닌 목표치로 관리할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

본 연구에서는 궤도의 좌굴해석 및 그 결과를 통해 열차하중이 직선 및 곡선 장대레일 궤도의 온도좌굴 거동에 미치는 영향에 대해 평가하였다. 차량을 고려한 온도좌굴 해석은 바퀴하중하에서 장대레일 궤도의 수직 처짐에 기인한 상향처짐을 결정하기 위해 유사정적 하중모델을 가정하였으며, 차량의 무게와 속도, 궤도의 곡률, 캔트, 그외의 열차와 궤도의 동적인 상호작용으로 인한 횡방향하중은 열차의 수직하중에 대한 수평하중 비에 포함하여 수행하였다. 수치적 해석을 통해 장대레일의 상부 및 하부좌굴온도를 구하였고, 이런 해석결과들을 기존의 열차하중을 포함하지 않은 정적 좌굴해석결과들과 비교하였다.

Recently, continuous welded rail (CWR) track has been adopted for railway track structure of great advantages of reducing maintenance costs, and of increasing life time of track components and the comfort of passengers. But, in this case, a temperature or mechanical load will result in high stress and the track breakage or buckling may occur Especially when the CWR is laying on the bridge structure, the relative displacement of these structure can be increased and this results in the instability of track. In this paper, the main factors affect on the longitudinal rail force are discussed and the computer program is developed for the analysis of rail force considering the interactions with sub-structure.

The rail temperature is important to preserve the joint gap for standard length of rail and to determine the installation temperature which has direct influence on the rail buckling and failure in welded part for continuous welded rail(CWR), Therefore, we have measured and investigated various characteristics of rail temperature for each kind of rail. As the results of this, the correlation between the atmosphere temperature and the rail temperature which is commonly used by Korean Railway should be reconsidered. Also, the daily highest '||'&'||' lowest rail temperature was occurred when each temperature is higher and when it's lower. For the light rail, the rail temperature by the sun-light increases quickly and decreases late. But the time where the highest temperature is attained is same. There are some differences between the shade and sunny place about 3.0∼4.0$\^{C}$. The temperature of rail web is almost close to the conversion rail temperature for rail expansion. The wind of 1 m/s has an influence on the rail temperature around 5$\^{C}$.

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.

In this paper, the track impact factor of conventional line was evaluated using the data for wheel load measured in field and the properties of current operating trains. The equation for track impact factor was presented through the statistical analysis of variational ratio in wheel load and compared with other design equations in domestic and foreign countries. A review on the safety of track system in conventional line was made from the relationship between the velocity and the corresponding impact factor. It was found that the impact factor from the proposed equation is a little less than the values from the equations adopted in both AREA and domestic railway, while it is same as the equation for continuous welded rail(CWR) in Japan. Therefore it could be said that the track satisfies a criteria for dynamic load caused by the train and the corresponding level of safety is guaranteed for dynamic load of the train
