합벽, 옹벽, 교량 주탑과 같이 세장한 매스콘크리트 구조물의 경우 온도균열 제어를 위해 저발열 콘크리트 배합의 적용 및 균열유발줄눈의 설치 등이 주로 적용되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 대책이 적용되어도 세장한 매스 구조물들은 내부구속에 비해 외부구속이 크기 때문에 완벽한 균열제어가 불가능하고, 특히 균열이 발생하게 되면 거의 관통을 하기 때문에 온도균열제어를 위한 특별한 관리가 필요하다. 합벽, 옹벽, 교량 주탑과 같이 세장한 매스콘크리트 구조물의 적극적인 온도균열 제어를 위하여 기존의 파이프쿨링 공법을 개선시킨 연직파이프쿨링 공법을 개발하였으며, 현장 우수조/중수조 합벽 콘크리트에 적용이 되었다. 그 결과 합벽의 중심부 최고 온도를 10도 이상 낮츨 수 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 균열은 50% 이상 감소시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper highlights a study undertaken on the free vibration of a precast steel-concrete composite slab panel for track support. The steel-concrete composite slab track is an evolvement from the slab track, a form of ballastless track which is becoming increasingly attractive to asset owners as they seek to reduce lifecycle costs and deal with increasing rail traffic speeds. The slender nature of the slab panel due to its reduced depth of construction makes it susceptible to vibration problems. The aim of the study is driven by the need to address the limited research available to date on the dynamic behaviour of steel-concrete composite slab panels for track support. Free vibration analysis of the track slab has been carried out using ABAQUS. Both eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes have been extracted using the Lanczos method. The fundamental natural frequencies of the slab panel have been identified together with corresponding mode shapes. To investigate the sensitivity of the natural frequencies and mode shapes, parametric studies have been established, considering concrete strength and mass and steel's modulus of elasticity. This study is the world first to observe crossover phenomena that result in the inversion of the natural orders without interaction. It also reveals that replacement of the steel with aluminium or carbon fibre sheeting can only marginally reduce the natural frequencies of the slab panel.

This paper presents unprecedented damped oscillation behaviours of a precast steel-concrete composite slab panel for track support. The steel-concrete composite slab track is an innovative slab track, a form of ballastless track which is becoming increasingly attractive to asset owners as they seek to reduce lifecycle costs and deal with increasing rail traffic speeds. The slender nature of the slab panel due to its reduced depth of construction makes it susceptible to vibration problems. The aim of the study is driven by the need to address the limited research available to date on the dynamic behaviour of steel-concrete composite slab panels for track support. Free vibration analysis of the track slab has been carried out using ABAQUS. Both undamped and damped eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes have been extracted using the Lancsoz method. The fundamental natural frequencies of the slab panel have been identified together with corresponding mode shapes. To investigate the sensitivity of the natural frequencies and mode shapes, parametric studies have been established, considering concrete strength and mass and steel's modulus of elasticity.
