Since KHSL 2nd phase was adapted as a main track design, the interests of concrete slab track system have been gradually increased in the division of rail track engineering and many engineering companies have been trying to adapt a concrete slab track system at this moment. Advantages of this system proved in advanced country, japan and Germany etc. are excellent maintenance, track stability and increasing of buckling resistance This developed turnout is same with the KHSR 1st phase's design and applications rules, components and signaling system since it observes KTX specification. Comparing it with the former turnout, High-elasticity pad, lubrication-free roller slide plate and Rheda2000 PC sleeper are only different. The purpose of this study is the development of high speed turnout on concrete slab track and its application on site. Now these studies are going to show the verification and confidence about the interface between ballast-track and concrete slab track by finding and solving the possible problems when it is installed on site and to make these turnouts applied perfectly and completely on concrete slab track. Its first trial construction in korea had been successfully completed at Sangju-station on July 20th ,2007 thanks to KORAIL and KR. Hereunder Sampyo E&C trys to introduce all of turnout technologies on concrete slab track system with Rheda 2000 sleeper

In reference to conventional line speed-up and improvement railway, accurate assembly of turnout affects traveling quality of turnout area and running safety. Because of heavy weight and a large volume of the long sleepers and car limit, transport and construction of the P.C(prestress concrete) sleeper turnout is the most difficult process. the prerequisite for trouble-free transport of the factory pre-assembled major turnout components is achieved through division of long sleepers. So, in this paper we investigate structural safety of segmented sleeper which is adopted for the first time to improve performance of turnout and, new construction method.

Impact factor of concrete and ballast track which has been used in Korea railway was applied to equation (1+0.513V/100) from AREA. As the use of this equation, overcapacity of track design might be occurred. Therefore, this study compared impact of ballast track (well, bad) and concrete track (sleeper embeded system, rail floating and sleeper floating) by field test to analyzing dynamic effect of track structure's characteristic and wheel load on service line. In addition, it suggested a method to generate reasonable track impact factor on each track type.

국내 대부분의 선구에 부설된 콘크리트침목은 적절히 유지관리되지 않을 경우 열차 운행의 안전성을 심각하게 위협하는 요소가 될 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 최근 가장 강력한 적응성(adaptive)을 갖는 기법으로 활용 범위를 넓히고 있는 Adaboost를 이용하여 고해상도카메라로 촬영한 침목이미지에서 균열을 자동검출할 수 있는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 개발된 알고리즘은 실제 침목에 발생한 균열 및 비균열 이미지를 분석한 후 도출한 균열특징을 이용하여 학습하였다. 침목균열 자동검출 알고리즘의 적용성은 48개의 학습이미지와 11개의 비학습이미지를 이용하여 검토하였다. 검토 결과 학습이미지와 비학습이미지 모두 균열폭과 균열길이에 대한 인식률이 90% 이상으로 나타났으며, 충분한 균열인식 성능을 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

It was estimated that the anti-vibration measures at the source location of railroad are the most active and effective ones. Among CWR(Continuously Welded Rail), elastic rail fastener, floating slab, ballast mat, under sleeper pad, etc. like these various kinds of measures in the source, under sleeper pad as an anti-vibration measure was constructed at the railroad track supporting structures in the Jeon-la Line. In this study, through the field measurement of vibration at the railroad track supporting structures and nearby the ground, the vibration reduction effect of under sleeper pad were evaluated by insertion loss. As a result, vibration reduction effects were 5.0∼12.5㏈ on the concrete slab of the bridge, 3.9∼7.5㏈ on the ground nearby the bridge respectively.

Concrete sleepers are essential components of the conventional railway. As support elements, sleepers are always subjective to a variety of time-dependent loads attributable to the train operations, either wheel or rail abnormalities. It has been observed that the sleepers may deteriorate due to these loads, inducing the formation of hairline cracks. There are two areas along the sleepers that are more prone to crack: the central and the rail seat sections. Several non-destructive methods have been developed to identify failures in structures. Health monitoring techniques are based on vibration responses measurements, which help engineers to identify the vibration-based damage or remotely monitor the sleeper health. In the present paper, the dynamic effects of the cracks in the vibration signatures of the railway pre-stressed concrete sleepers are investigated. The experimental modal analysis has been used to evaluate the modal bending changes in the vibration characteristics of the sleepers, differentiating between the central and the rail seat locations of the cracks. Modal parameters changes of the 'healthy' and cracked sleepers have been highlighted in terms of natural frequencies and modal damping. The paper concludes with a discussion of the most suitable failure indicator and it defines the vibration signatures of intact, central cracked and rail seat cracked sleepers.

The use of pozzolanic materials in concrete mixtures can enhance the mechanical properties and durability of concrete. By reactions with pozzolanic materials and calcium hydroxide in cement matrix, calcium-silicate-hydrate (C-S-H) increases and calcium hydroxide decreases in cement matrix of concrete. Consequently, the volume of solid materials increases. The pozzolanic particles also fill spaces between clinker grains, thereby resulting in a denser cement matrix and interfacial transition zone between cement matrix and aggregates; this lowers the permeability and increases the compressive strength of concrete. Moreover, the total contents of alkali in concrete are reduced by replacing cements with pozzolanic materials; this prevents cracks due to alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR). In this study, nanosilica is incorporated in cement pastes. The differences of microstructural compositions between the hydrated cements with and without nanosilica are examined using nanoindentation, XRDA and $^{29}Si$ MAS NMR. The results can be used for a basic research to enhance durability of concrete slab tracks and concrete railway sleepers.

도시철도 침목플로팅궤도(STEDEF)는 침목상자와 침목방진패드를 이용하여 침목과 콘크리트 도상을 구조적으로 분리하여 콘크리트 도상에 전달되는 진동을 감소시키는 구조이다. 최근에는 20년 이상 공용중인 침목플로팅궤도의 침목방진패드 열화가 발생하고 있다. 이에 침목방진패드에 대한 성능을 평가하기 위해 침목방진패드 발췌 후 정적 스프링강성 시험을 수행하고 있다. 해당 평가기법은 사용 중인 침목방진패드를 반드시 교체한 후 평가를 수행한다. 그러나 궤도 고유진동수는 침목방진패드 스프링강성 및 콘크리트 도상의 융기와 침하에 따라 변화할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 궤도 고유진동수를 평가하기 위해 모달시험기법을 사용하였다. 이를 위해 실험실 규모에서 침목상자 소재, 침목방진패드 스프링강성 및 콘크리트 도상 융기 및 침하에 따른 궤도 고유진동수를 모달시험을 이용하여 측정하였다. 침목플로팅궤도 고유진동수는 침목방진패드 스프링강성 변화에 따라 직접적인 영향을 받는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 콘크리트 도상의 융기 및 침하에 따른 고유진동수 변화도 큰 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시한 모달시험기법을 이용하여 침목방진패드의 열화 및 뜬 침목 평가 등에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This paper reports the development of a theoretically rigorous method for permanent way engineers to assess the condition of railway ballast under a concrete sleeper with the potential to be extended to a smart system for long-term health monitoring of railway ballast. Owing to the uncertainties induced by the problems of modeling error and measurement noise, the Bayesian approach was followed in the development. After the selection of the most plausible model class for describing the damage status of the rail-sleeper-ballast system, Bayesian model updating is adopted to calculate the posterior PDF of the ballast stiffness at various regions under the sleeper. An obvious drop in ballast stiffness at a region under the sleeper is an evidence of ballast damage. In model updating, the model that can minimize the discrepancy between the measured and model-predicted modal parameters can be considered as the most probable model for calculating the posterior PDF under the Bayesian framework. To address the problems of non-uniqueness and local minima in the model updating process, a two-stage hybrid optimization method was developed. The modified evolutionary algorithm was developed in the first stage to identify the important regions in the parameter space and resulting in a set of initial trials for deterministic optimization to locate all most probable models in the second stage. The proposed methodology was numerically and experimentally verified. Using the identified model, a series of comprehensive numerical case studies was carried out to investigate the effects of data quantity and quality on the results of ballast damage detection. Difficulties to be overcome before the proposed method can be extended to a long-term ballast monitoring system are discussed in the conclusion.
