The purpose of a railway track is to provide a smooth surface for safe and economical train transportation. The performance of the track results from a complex interaction of the track and subgrade components in response to train loading and environmental actions. In the past, the role of subgrade as the track foundation were not recognized adequately. There are insufficient information and inadequate methods for subgrade design, assessment and improvement. This situation has survived for a long time largely because a subgrade defect can often be adjusted by adding more ballast under the ties or applying more frequent track maintenance. Therefore, the application of reinforced roadbed technology will be expected to increase in the future. The reinforced roadbed thickness is set depending on subgrade reaction modulus($K_{30}$) in the condition of upper subgrade through PBT in both conventional railroad and KTX railroads. As train velocity (V), train passing tonnage (N), and train axial load (P) are not considered in design, the roadbed thickness could be overestimated (or underestimated). Therefore, in this study has proposed a determination method of reinforced roadbed thickness using design chart made by resilience modulus and properties of earthwork materials.

In this study, performance of reinforced railroad roadbeds with the reinforced roadbed materials were investigated through the real scale roadbed tests. It was also found that the reinforced roadbed with reinforced roadbed materials has less elastic and plastic settlement than the one with soil. The slag roadbed was more effective than the crushed stone roadbed with the same condition for load distribution. Therefore considering overall characteristics of reinforced roadbed material, the optimum thickness was recommended as 50 cm. Furthermore the real scale model test under the simulated rainfall condition, the settlement in the slag roadbed was about 8 times smaller than the settlement in the soil roadbed.

Since 1980's in U.S.A and Japan, the studies on increasing the bearing capacity of railway roadbed using geocell have been conducted for repair and reinforcement of railways constructed on soft soils. In this study, the railway roadbed system reinforced with geocells has been analyzed and investigated results of the previous studies were conducted in Korea and other nations, And the method for estimating the railway roadbed thickness was developed based on the equivalent method using the multi-layer theory and the deformation modulus Ev.

Railroad track consists of relatively simple structures such as rail, sleeper, ballast. Roadbed shares vertical pressure by train load which passed through rail to ballast as base that supports the track. For evaluating stress and displacement of roadbed due to the railroad load is an important role on the track as a basic data for estimation of the durability and design of the roadbed thickness. GEOTRACK program applied multi-layered theory was developed for analyzing railroad track structure. GEOTRACK program is a sort of numerical analysis program which has advantage that can analysis component of track by simple method. In this study, this program was used to preform the numerical analysis by changing track conditions and roadbed conditions such as tie, reinforced roadbed, dynamic wheel load, Resilient modulus and so on. Further detail will be presented on the paper.

아스팔트 노반상 자갈궤도(이하, AC자갈궤도)는 아스팔트 콘크리트 노반(이하, AC노반)에 의한 열차하중의 분산으로 노반 두께 감소 효과, 빗물의 침투방지 효과로 인한 노반부의 강도저하와 연약화 방지 효과, 노반 분니 방지 및 동상방지에 의한 유지보수비 절감 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 이와 같은 장점들에 의해 AC자갈궤도는 유럽 및 일본 등에서 널리 사용되고 있으며 국내에서도 도입을 위한 연구가 진행 중이다. 본 논문에서는 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS을 이용하여 현재 철도설계기준에 제시되어 있는 고속철도용 자갈궤도의 성능에 부합하는 AC자갈궤도 단면을 선정하고 선정된 2개의 단면을 대상으로 실물 대형 정 동적 열차하중 재하 시험을 수행하였다. 실대형 실험 결과, AC자갈궤도가 강화노반 상면에 작용하는 토압이 상대적으로 작게 측정되었으며 탄성 및 소성변위도 상대적으로 유사 또는 작은 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 AC자갈궤도가 자갈궤도에 비해 열차하중 분산효과에 의한 강화노반 두께 감소효과가 있고 소성변위도 작으므로 궤도의 장기 유지관리 측면에서도 유리한 궤도구조임을 확인하였다.

In general, thickness of the sublayers under track is designed based on concept of vertical soil reaction value or vertical stiffness. However, this design method cannot take consideration into soil-track interaction under repetitive load, traffic condition and velocity of the train. Furthermore, the reinforced roadbed soils experience complex behavior that cannot be explained by conventional stress-strain relation expressed as soil reaction value k. The reinforced roadbed soils also can produce cumulative permanent deformation under repetitive load caused by train. Therefore new design method for the sublayers under track must be developed that can consider both elastic modulus and permanent deformation. In this study, a new design concept, a rule-of-thumb, is proposed as the form of design monograph that is developed using elastic multi-layer and finite element programs by analyzing stress and deformation in the sublayers with changing the thickness and elastic modulus of the sublayers and also using data obtained from repetitive triaxial test. This new design concept can be applied to design of the reinforced roadbed before developing full version of design methodology that can consider MGT, axial load and the material properties of the layers. The new design monograph allows the user to design the thickness of the reinforced roadbed based on permanent deformation, elastic modulus and MGT.

Recently the geogrids are being used in some large projects such as Inchon International Airport construction, highway construction, and Korean High-Speed Railway construction with not only the merit of simple construction but also reinforcing efficiency for the soft ground. Main function of roadbed is to provide a stable foundation in terms of bearing capacity and settlement for the subballast and ballsat layers. Differential settlement of the railroad should be avoided. The cyclic laboratory model tests were performed to investigate the settlement behavior of geogrid reinforced railroadbed. The ratio of settlement of roadbed under cyclic loading with three layers of geogrid reinforced is less than 1/2 of the roadbed thickness without reinforcement.
