Various installation faults may lie in fasteners in the construction of a direct-fixation track by the top-down method. At an extreme, they may cause excessive interaction between the train and track, compromise the running safety of the train, and cause damage to the track components. Therefore, the faults need to be kept within the allowable level through an investigation of their effects on the interactions between the train and track. In this study, the vertical dynamic stiffness of fasteners in installation faults was measured based on the dynamic stiffness test by means of an experimental apparatus that was devised to feasibly reproduce gap faults. This study proposes an effective analytical model for a train-track interaction system in which most elements, except the nonlinear wheel-rail contact and some components that behave bi-linearly, exhibit linear behavior. To investigate the effect of the behavior of fasteners in gap faults in a direct-fixation track on the vehicle and track, vehicle-track interaction analyses were carried out, targeting key review parameters such as the wheel load reduction factor, vertical rail displacement, rail bending stress, and mean stress of the elastomer. From the results, it was noted that the gap faults in the concrete bearing surface of a direct-fixation track need to be limited for the sake of the long-term durability of the elastomer than for the running safety of the train or the structural safety of the track.

The coefficient of derailment and the rate of wheel load reduction were used as the index of train running safety that was directly affected the train derailment safety. In aspects of track, the train running safety depends on the complex interaction between wheel and rail, and the track-vehicle conditions (i.e., the curvature, cant, track system, vehicle speed and the operation conditions, etc). In this study, the relationship between the train running safety and the track curvature and vehicle speed for direct fixation concrete tracks currently employed in Korean light rapid transit was assessed by performing field tests using actual vehicles running along the service lines. The measured dynamic wheel load, lateral wheel load and lateral displacement of rail head were measured for same train running on four tested tracks under real conditions, which included curved and tangent tracks placed on the tunnel and bridge, thus increasing the train speed by approximately maximum design speed of each test site. Therefore, the measured dynamic track response was applied to the running safety analysis in order to evaluate the coefficient of derailment, the rate of wheel load reduction and the track gauge widening at each test site, and compare with the corresponding Korean train running safety standard. As the results, the lateral track response of direct fixation concrete track appeared to increase with the decreased track curvature; therefore, it was inferred that the track curvature directly affected the train running safety.

본 연구는 운행선 경전철 직결식 궤도 부설구간에서 발생한 도상블록의 변위거동 특성을 분석하여 적정 보강 방안을 도출하고자 현장조사를 바탕으로 한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 본 연구의 대상선로는 교량상 급곡선 직결식 콘크리트 궤도로서 교량바닥판에 부설된 도상블록이 종방향 및 횡방향으로 이동하는 문제가 발생하여 이에 대한 메커니즘을 분석하였다. 본 연구에서는 3D Solid요소를 이용한 궤도구조 모델링을 바탕으로 운행하중 조건에서 발생가능한 직결식 궤도의 거동을 분석하고 다양한 보강방안에 대한 보강효과를 해석적으로 분석하였다. 도상블럭의 보강 전, 후 횡변위 분석결과, 극한 횡압 작용 시 보강 후 최대 횡변위는 보강 전 대비 약 3% 수준(약 0.1mm)으로 크게 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 채움 모르타르, 교량 바닥판, 보강철근의 발생응력 검토결과, 모두 2.6 이상의 충분한 안전율을 확보하는 것으로 분석되어 보강방안에 대한 최적 조건을 도출하였다. 따라서 본 연구에서 검토한 앵커링 보강 수량 및 대칭형 앵커배치는 도상블록 횡방향 변위 발생 제어 및 교량, 도상블록의 구조적 건전성 확보에 효과적일것으로 판단된다.

Australian railway networks possess a large amount of aging timber components and need to replace them in excess of 280 thousands $m^3$ per year. The relatively high turnover of timber sleepers (crossties in a plain track), bearers (skeleton ties in a turnout), and transoms (bridge cross beams) is responsible for producing greenhouse gas emissions 6 times greater than an equivalent reinforced concrete counterparts. This paper presents an innovative solution for the replacement of aging timber transoms installed on existing railway bridges along with the incorporation of a continuous walkway platform, which is proven to provide environmental, safety and financial benefits. Recent developments for alternative composite materials to replace timber components in railway infrastructure construction and maintenance demonstrate some compatibility issues with track stiffness as well as structural and geometrical track systems. Structural concrete are generally used for new railway bridges where the comparatively thicker and heavier fixed slab track systems can be accommodated. This study firstly demonstrates a novel and resilient alterative by incorporating steel-concrete composite slab theory and combines the capabilities of being precast and modulated, in order to reduce the depth, weight and required installation time relative to conventional concrete direct-fixation track slab systems. Clear benefits of the new steel-concrete composites are the maintainability and constructability, especially for existing railway bridges (or brown fields). Critical considerations in the design and finite element modelling for performance benchmarking of composite structures and their failure modes are highlighted in this paper, altogether with risks, compatibilities and compliances.

본 연구에서는 궤도틀림이 차륜-레일 상호작용력에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 이를 바탕으로 궤도틀림을 관리할 수 있는 하중기반의 궤도틀림 분석기법을 제안하였다. 도시철도 침목플로팅궤도와 직결도상 접속구간에서 발생된 고저틀림 측정결과를 이용하여 고저틀림이 차륜-레일 상호작용력(동적윤중)과 레일의 진동가속도에 미치는 영향을 해석적으로 분석하였다. 직결궤도 총 4개소를 대상으로 부분적으로 직결궤도를 포함한 침목플로팅궤도 구간과 전, 후 인접 침목플로팅궤도 구간으로 구분하여 고저틀림을 비교, 분석하였다. 분석결과, 직결궤도를 포함한 구간이 침목플로팅궤도 보다 궤도틀림이 크게 나타났다. 고저틀림 데이터를 적용한 차륜-레일 상호작용력 분석결과, 거리에 비해 상대 변위차가 큰 구간에서 차륜-레일 상호작용력과 레일가속도가 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다. 반면 고저틀림 데이터의주기와 틀림량(변위)이 일정한 구간의 경우 차륜-레일 상호작용력과 레일가속도가 상대적으로 작게 나타났다. 따라서고저틀림의 주기가 짧고 상대변위차가 클수록 차륜-레일 상호작용력 측면에서 불리한 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 궤도틀림 측정데이터를 이용한 차륜-레일 상호작용 해석을 통해 차륜-레일의 상호작용력을 바탕으로한 하중기반의 궤도틀림 분석기법 적용방안을 제시하였다.
