The Transitional zone between bridge abutment and earthwork is one of the representative vulnerable zones in railway where differential settlements may take place due to the different supportive stiffness. Although transitional zones are managed with stricter standards than those of the other earthwork zones either in the design and construction stages, it is very difficult to prevent differential settlement perfectly. A three-dimensional numerical analyses were performed by applying train moving load in this study. The analytical model including abutments and earthwork zones was constituted with rail, sleepers, track concrete layer (TCL), hydraulic stabilized base (HSB), reinforced road bed, and road bed using railway and road base structure. The clamp connecting the rail and sleeper were also modeled as the element with spring coefficient. The train wheel is modeled in the actual size and moved on the rail with 300 km/hr speed. The deformation characteristics at each point of the rail and the ground were considered in detail when moving the train wheel. The analysis results were compared with those from the two-dimensional analysis without considering moving load. The research results show that displacement and stress were greater in the three-dimensional analysis than in other analyses, and the three-dimensional analysis with moving load should be performed to evaluate railway performance.

Slope stability analysis of the right abutment of a railway bridge proposed at about 350 m above the ground level, crossing a river and connecting two huge hillocks in the Himalayas, India is presented in this paper. The site is located in a highly active seismic zone. The rock slopes are intensely jointed and the joint spacing and orientation are varying at different locations. Static slope stability of the rock slope is studied using equivalent continuum approach through the most commonly used commercial numerical tools like FLAC and SLOPE/W of GEOSTUDIO. The factor of safety for the slope under static conditions was 1.88 and it was reduced by 46% with the application of earthquake loads in pseudo-static analysis. The results obtained from the slope stability analyses confirmed the global stability of the slope. However, it is very likely that there could be possibility of wedge failures at some of the pier locations. This paper also presents the results from kinematics of right abutment slope for the wedge failure analysis based on stereographic projections. Based on the kinematics, it is recommended to flatten the slope from 50o to 43o to avoid wedge failures at all pier locations.

교량과 토공의 접속부은 궤도의 대표적인 취약구간으로서 교대배면의 부등침하로 인한 궤도틀림발생이 빈번하여 유지관리에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있는 구간 중의 하나이다. 콘크리트궤도부설구간의 경우에는 교대배면의 부등침하를 방지하기 위하여 접속슬래브 부설이 일반화되고 있는 추세이다. 이 경우, 접속슬래브를 지지하고 있는 노반의 침하로 인하여 접속슬래브에 경사처짐이 발생하게 되면 궤도도 경사처짐이 발생하게 된다. 이로 인해 이 구간을 통과하는 차량의 주행안정성과 승차감의 저하, 그리고 과도한 충격에 의한 궤도의 손상을 유발하게 되므로 접속슬래브의 단부에서의 침하를 제한할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 궤도 부설 교량과 토공의 접속부에 부설되는 접속슬래브의 단부에서의 처짐한도를 알아보기 위하여 접속슬래브의 길이와 단부처짐량을 매개변수로 한 차량-궤도 상호작용 해석을 실시하여 차체가속도, 윤중변동률, 레일 저부응력, 그리고 체결구에 발생하는 상향압력을 조사하였으며, 수치해석결과와 각 검토항목별 허용한도와의 비교검토를 통하여 접속슬래브의 길이에 따른 단부처짐의 허용한도를 제시하였다.

Railroad, the structure maintenance and restoration project was increased and widely performed in concrete pavement road and airport, building at downtown area, bridge abutment, and other concrete structures. Especially, the ground reinforcement technique by quick-reaction expansible resins is the most effective countermeasures against differential settlement and undesired deformation of structure. In this paper, the unconfined compressive strength and some environmental related tests were conducted to evaluate compressive strength and environmental effect of quick-reaction expansive resins and soil mixtures. Also, three case histories of concrete structure and railroad restoration project are presented. Based on the laboratory test, the quick-reaction expansible resins and soil mixture represent the sufficient compressive strength and the leachate material is satisfied the environmental regulation limits. As a result of this study, the structure restoration technology using quick-reaction expansible resins is very effective for restoration of differential settlement and deformation, and it is environmentally sustainable technology.
