A high-speed railway (HSR) bridge may undergo long-term deformation due to the degradation of material stiffness, or foundation settlement during its service cycle. In this study, an analytical model is set up to evaluate the influence of this long-term vertical bridge deformation on the track geometry. By analyzing the structural characteristics of the HSR track-bridge system, the energy variational principle is applied to build the energy functionals for major components of the track-bridge system. By further taking into account the interlayer's force balancing requirements, the mapping relationship between the deformation of the track and the one of the bridge is established. In order to consider the different behaviors of the interlayers in compression and tension, an iterative method is introduced to update the mapping relationship. As for the validation of the proposed mapping model, a finite element model is created to compare the numerical results with the analytical results, which show a good agreement. Thereafter, the effects of the interlayer's different properties of tension and compression on the mapping deformations are further evaluated and discussed.

This paper deals with the dynamic responses of the multi-span continuous bridge with longitudinal shear keys. It is motivated by a need to understand the effects of longitudinal shear keys which may be used for the reduction of the longitudinal seismic force in continuous bridges. The results show that (1) The force reduction of fixed pier is proportional to the ratio of gap size and elastic maximum displacement of the bridges without shear keys ; (2) The thermal movement has little effect on the response of the continuous bridges with shear keys. Also the simplified equation is proposed to calculate the maximum response of the continuous bridges with longitudinal shear keys. The equation requires only the elastic analysis results of the bridge and the gap size between superstructure and shear keys.

기존 임시교량은 대부분 거더의 횡-비틀림좌굴을 방지하고 시공의 효율성을 확보하기 위해 가로보를 설치하고 있다. 이 가로보는 볼트로 연결되며, 중력방향 하중에 대한 저항성능이 매우 작은 것으로 평가되고 있다. 그러나 최근 일체화된 가로보를 사용함으로써 가로보를 하중저항요소로 이용한 임시교량이 최근 개발된 바 있다. 이 연구는 새롭게 개발된 임시교량에 대한 구조적 거동 및 하중전달능력을 실험 및 구조해석 등을 통해 조사, 분석하였다. 일체로 연속된 가로보를 이용한 임시교량은 가로보의 휨강성을 통해 하중을 인접거더로 분산하여 거더에 발생하는 최대휨응력을 감소시키고, 거더의 휨강성을 증대시키는 것으로 확인되어 장경간 임시교량에서도 유리할 것으로 판단된다.

Track-bridge interaction has become an essential part in the design of bridges and rails in terms of modern railways. As a unique ballastless slab track, the longitudinal continuous slab track (LCST) or referred to as the China railway track system Type-II (CRTS II) slab track, demonstrates a complex force mechanism. Therefore, a comprehensive track-bridge interaction study between multi-span simply supported beam bridges and the LCST is presented in this work. In specific, we have developed an integrated finite element model to investigate the overall interaction effects of the LCST-bridge system subjected to the actions of temperature changes, traffic loads, and braking forces. In that place, the deformation patterns of the track and bridge, and the distributions of longitudinal forces and the interfacial shear stress are studied. Our results show that the additional rail stress has been reduced under various loads and the rail's deformation has become much smoother after the transition of the two continuous structural layers of the LCST. However, the influence of the temperature difference of bridges is significant and cannot be ignored as this action can bend the bridge like the traffic load. The uniform temperature change causes the tensile stress of the concrete track structure and further induce cracks in them. Additionally, the influences of the friction coefficient of the sliding layer and the interfacial bond characteristics on the LCST's performance are discussed. The systematic study presented in this work may have some potential impacts on the understanding of the overall mechanical behavior of the LCST-bridge system.

To study the vibration characteristics of a high-speed railway continuous girder bridge-track coupling system (HSRCBT), a coupling vibration analysis model of an m-span continuous girder bridge-subgrade-track system with n-span approach bridge was established. The model was based on the energy and its variational method, where both the interlaminar slip and shear deformation effects were considered. In addition, the free vibration equations and natural boundary conditions of the HSRCBT were derived. Further, according to the coordination principle of deformation and mechanics, an analytical method for calculating the natural vibration frequencies of the HSRCBT was obtained. Three typical bridge-subgrade-track coupling systems of high-speed railway were taken and the results of finite element analysis were compared to those of the analytical method. The errors between the simulation results and calculated values of the analytical method were less than 3%, thus verifying the analytical method proposed in this paper. Finally, the analytical method was used to investigate the influence of the number of the approach bridge spans and the interlaminar stiffness on the natural vibration characteristics of the HSRCBT based on the degree of sensitivity. The results suggest the approach bridges have a critical number of spans and in general, the precision requirements of the analysis could be met by using 6-span approach bridges. The interlaminar vertical compressive stiffness has very little influence on the low-order natural vibration frequency of HSRCBT, but does have a significant influence on higher-order natural vibration frequency. As the interlaminar vertical compressive stiffness increases, the degree of sensitivity to interlaminar stiffness of each of the HSRCBT natural vibration characteristics decrease and gradually approach zero.

본 연구에서는 다경간 연속교의 내진해석시 가동받침의 마찰을 고려할 수 있는 비선형 동적해석 방법을 제시하고 가동받침의 마찰계수에 따른 연속교의 내진응답을 고찰하였다. 연구결과 국내와 같은 소규모 설계지진시에는 가동받침의 마찰은 마찰계수가 작더라도 에너지 감쇠에 의한 상부구조의 변위감소와 마찰력에 의한 상부구조의 관성력의 각 하부구조로 분배에있어 상당한 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이러한 가동받침의 마찰효과는 마찰계수가 클수록, 입력지진의 규모가 작을수록 커짐을 보였다. 따라서 경간수가 많고 상부구조의 중량이 큰 다경간 연속교에 있어서 가동반침의 마찰계수를 적절히 사용함으로써 중소규모 설계지진 작용시 상부구조의 수평변위를 조절할 수 있고 상부구조의 교축방향 관성력을 각 하부구조로 분배하는 효과에 의해 경제성과 전체교량의 내진 안전성을 확보할 수 있다.

IPC 거더교(Incrementally Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridge)는 다단계 긴장을 이용하여 구조적 효율을 최대화하기 때문에 기존의 PSC-I형 거더교에 비하여 작은 단면에 큰 긴장력이 도입된다. 따라서 기존의 PSC-I형 거더교에 비하여 강성(stiffness)이 작아져서 장기적으로 큰 변형이 발생할 가능성이 있다. PSC 거더 연속교에서의 장기변형은 연속지점부의 응력에도 큰 변화를 일으키기 때문에 장기적 거동을 고려하지 않으면 구조물의 사용성 뿐만 아니라 안전성에도 문제를 일으킬 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 IPC 거더 연속교의 장기거동 모니터링을 통하여 예상범위를 초과하는 특이 거동의 발생을 포함한 IPC거더교의 장기적인 솟음 또는 처짐 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 장기거동의 계측은 계측방법의 용이성과 정밀도에 대한 검토를 통하여 고정밀도의 토탈스테이션을 사용하였으며, 기존의 PSC-I형 거더교 공정과 차별되는 2차 긴장력 도입 공정부터 처짐을 계측하였다. 현재까지의 계측결과를 보면, IPC거더 연속교는 특이한 거동, 즉 과도한 솟음이나 처짐은 없었으며 장기구조해석 결과와 상당히 유사한 경향을 보였다.

Considerable longitudinal rail forces and displacements may develop in continuous welded rail (CWR) track on long-span bridges due to temperature variations. The track stability may be disturbed due to excessive relative displacements between the sleepers and ballast bed and the accompanied reduction in frictional resistance. For high-speed tracks, however, solving these problems by installing rail expansion devices in the track is not an attractive solution as these devices may cause a local disturbance of the vertical track stiffness and track geometry which will require intensive maintenance. With reference to temperature, two actions are considered by the bridge loading standards, the uniform variation in the rail and deck temperature and the temperature gradient in deck. Generally, the effect of temperature gradient has been disregarded in the interaction analysis. This paper mainly deals with the effect of temperature gradient on the track-bridge interaction with respect to the support reaction, rail stresses and stability. The study presented in this paper was not mentioned in the related codes so far.
