In this study, the results of elasto-plastic analysis for a subway tunnel using finite element method are presented. To determine input data for the analysis we carried out rock mass classificaton, insitu test and back analysis using measured displacements. Tunnel convergence, extension of yielding Zone and support load are described. By comparing the results of four different reinforcement patterns, the influence of those patterns on tunnel stability is presented. As a result of the analysis we suggest a ratonal reinforcement pattern.

The environment. of electric railway has, included both fast and slow load variation, which may occur in the office or maintenance factory or running electric train. This paper investigated flicker indices according to voltage fluctuations on three different situations; The base office in new subway in the daytime and night time, inside of electric train running in conventional subway. And also the variations of harmonic frequencies(2nd, 3rd, 5th) with rime were measured at the same time. Flicker index is a good tool for evaluating the voltage fluctuation quantitatively and show some relationship with even harmonic frequencies produced by the voltage fluctuation when the electric train is running on the railway.

The bigger of concrete strctures by a construct technique improvement, and the increase of the cement quantity which is caused by with use of the high-strength concrete for the load-carrying-capacity and a durability cause temperature cracks by a heat of hydration. The temperature crack due to the heat of hydration classified a nonstructural crack. but it has a bad effect on durability of concrete structures. especially, in case of a subway concrete box structure, when a water-proof facilities is beaked on an outer-wall, the water leakage occurs through a penetration crack generated from a wall of the concrete structure too. This paper, for the subway concrete box strucuture, the use of blended cement, the temperature of air and concrete, control joint, was considered and analysed by a three dimensional finite element method.

This paper presents the analysis results to evaluate the application of separation sleeper boot of turnout in concrete track in subway. An analysis includes the dynamic load on turnout-bridge and the ballast improvement method of upbound and down line independent girder in servicing line. From the results, the aspect and the property of separation sleeper boot of turnout are evaluated. FE analysis explain the relationship between independent bridge and track behaviour of dynamic loads. The assessment of application based on FE analysis results in a good improvement method of servicing subway line is proposed.

The forced drainage set up to decrease the cathodic protection in each kind of steel conduit laid under the ground is so proscribed to be maintained less than 60V in its output voltage that insulation coordination is easy to be left out of account, on the basis of 60V of working voltage. When railway or subway break down during the service of a subway, 1,500 voltage approximating to line voltage flows through the load terminal of the drainage (rail and underground conduit) though momentary in the worst case. And so, an accident followed by dielectric breakdown, fire and damage by a fire is expected. Therefore, I suggest that insulation coordination should be considered against such a thing on designing, producing and setting up forced drainage.

This is a Double-Track Railway tunnel in typical Tae-Gu black and gray shale forming part of the No.1 Line of the Tae-Gu Subway. The main fault zone at tunnel is a moderately to highly weathered and closely jointed zone, 0.5 m wide with associated paralled jointing which is slickensided and fractured. After excavation by blasting, the soft rocks should need to be reinforced with optimal supporting pattern which might be better redesigned through the consideration of the results of in-situ rock measurements at the field. Performances fo the field tests included Point Load Test, Schmidt Hammer Test, and field joint measurement gave the detail data for the optimum support design and safe excavation of the No.1 Line of Tae-Gu Subway at the No.1-7 consturction site adn the safety of this redesigned supports system was analysed by the FDM program FLAC.

In this study, a series of items on the safety and stability of cracked main structure in subway are investigated and analyzed. Cracks due to dry contraction under the construction can be found when a tensile stress of cross section is higher than tensile strength at a value of coefficient of dry contraction $200{\times}10^{-6}$. It is concluded that there is no problems when load carrying capacity, that is, an ability of resisting loads of structure is enough in this analytical model. Also, it is concluded that this model has a desirable serviceability because a width of bending crack is lower than allowable one.

Indoor air quality (IAQ) of subway becomes a key issue as the IAQ guidelines for public transportation published. There are two major sources regarding IAQ of subway; One is the sources coming from outdoor air and the other is sources of inside. Particulate matters smaller than 10 micrometer (PM10) and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) are recognized as the one of the most severe pollutants in Korea. The source of PM10 is mainly coming from outdoor air, however, the source of $CO_2$ is coming from passengers exhaust. According to the guidelines, the level of $CO_2$ should be lower than 2500ppm for normal operating time and lower than 3500ppm for rush hour. In order to satisfy these guidelines, the volume of mechanical ventilation should be increase which consumes extra energy for heating or cooling. Therefore, the optimum volume of mechanical ventilation should be calculated for energy saving. In this study, we measured the natural ventilation rate by door-opening which can reduce the load of mechanical ventilation. The $CO_2$ generator and sensors were used to measure the change of $CO_2$ by periodic door-opening of subway.

Power demand forecasting is an important factor of the peak management. This paper deals with the 15 minutes ahead load forecasting problem in a DC urban railway system. Since supplied power lines to trains are connected with parallel, the load characteristics are too complex and highly non-linear. The main idea of the proposed method for the 15 minutes ahead prediction is to use the daily load similarity accounting for the load nonlinearity. An Euclidean norm with weighted factors including loads of the neighbor substation is used for the similar load selection. The prediction value is determinated by the sum of the similar load and the correction value. The correction has applied the neural network model. The feasibility of the proposed method is exemplified through some simulations applied to the actual load data of Incheon subway system.
