Infrastructure costs could be greatly reduced if the need for bridges and tunnels was reduced, or if the line could be shortened. Tilting trains might be a less costly alternative to building new tracks with large curve radii, because tilting trains can negotiate tighter curves without having to decrease their speeds. Tracks built for tilting trains would be cheaper, as they require fewer bridges and tunnels. This paper compares the construction costs of two different options for the new Dodam-Yeoncheong section on the Central line, which includes 148.65 km of new electrified double-track with a design speed of 250 km/h. The first option is to straighten the high-speed line. The second option is to build a line with small radii curves and run tilting trains on the line. In the first option, tunnels would account for about 51% of the new section. In comparison, the second option would have shorter curves and fewer tunnels and bridges which would reduce construction costs. Furthermore, alignment modifications could be made to several segments on the straight line, making the most of the existing roadbed. The analysis concluded that the line suited to tilting trains would be 95.7 million USD cheaper to build the straight route. That is a savings of 2.8% of the total project cost. However, this option would increase the total travel time of the route by 1.2 minutes, which means it is not necessarily the best choice.

This study presents a methodology to evaluate the driving safety of vehicles against localized high wind on the roads over the valleys or along the coasts. Risk level for vehicle accident is derived from the side slip caused by cross wind, and then safety criteria based on reliability for driving stability are defined. The level of safety is classified according to probability of exceeding against wind speed using the concept of extreme value statistics. To attain the safety level of vehicle on bridges, numerical simulations using Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) are performed. Based on this result, risk reduction and quality improvement is expected through analysis for each alternative in bridges design, construction and operation & maintenance stage with proposed process

The down town passage segment which follows in the straight line which follows recently in high speed of the railway and rail construction is increasing. Also according to quality of life improvement of the citizens whom follows in national income increase the resident demand only becomes larger day by day about a environmental creation which is comfortable and house environmental etc. Demand of the citizens is not the problem of today yesterday about like this railway mean of transportation and with the fact that continuously will increase in future. This study is to predict and reduce railway noise from the conventional PSC-beam bridges which passes through urban areas under the government strateges of speed and weight increases of railway. The purpose of this study is to recommend a proper noise prediction method for designing pleasant roadside environments. The railway design including existing line reconstructions should minimize curved alignment to increase train speed to 180~200km/hr under the government's long-term planing such as the 4th Comprehensive National Development Plan (2000~2020), National Intermodal Transportation Plan (2000~2019) and National Railroad Network Establishment Plan (2006~2015), Since the PSC-beam bridges are mainly used for bridge structures urban areas, noise measurements were performed and analyzed to recommend the noise prediction methods for each type and speed of train respectively.

In many countries the slab track of railroads is mostly applied on the railroad bridges and tunnels, however it hasn't been constructed in the tunnel in Korea. Presently the Korea high speed railway construction authority is planning to construct slab track in the tunnels to minimize the cost of maintenance and repair. In this study, dynamic characteristics of the railroad roadbed which was constructed using crushed stones obtained from tunnel construction was investigated through the field investigation, real scale model test and numerical analysis. As a conclusion, the roadbeds built with the crushed stones produced at the tunneling site satisfy the requirement of roadbed in terms of displacement and earth pressure for the slab track in tile tunnel.

In designing the high-speed railroad track, it is important to utilize appropriate track components to maintain uniform stiffness and ensure track alignment within the tolerance set for that system. In this regard, continuous welded rails (CWRs) were introduced to the Korean railways. Yet the installation of CWRs can result in an adverse impact due to the track/structure interaction on bridge sections yielding variations in the stiffness at the expansion joints. It may also impose additional axial force, generate excessive stress or deflection on track, and loosen the ballast at the ends as a bridge deck contracts or expands owing to a thermally-induced dynamic response. The risk is even greater in a long bridge deck, resulting in track longitudinal irregularities, deteriorating passenger's comfort, and increasing maintenance efforts. This study evaluates the performance of ZLR and their impact on track longitudinal irregularities through the track measuring results on a test section installed the ZLR in order to minimize the thermally-induced responses and the maintenance efforts for the high speed railway bridges.

국내 철도의 환경 소음 예측을 위해서 기존에는 총합 소음도의 거리별 경험식에 기초한 모델을 이용하였던 바, 교량 주변 소음도를 계산하는 데에도 거리만의 함수를 이용하였다. 그러나 콘크리트교에서는 수음점의 거리뿐만 아니라 위치에 따라서도 소음도가 변화한다. 본 논문에서는 철도 콘크리트교에서 교량 상판에 의한 회절 및 지면 효과를 고려한 소음전파 예측모델을 도출하였으며, 이때 ISO 9613-2의 소음 전파 모델을 이용하였다. 고속철도 콘크리트 교 주변 소음도에 대한 예측값을 실제 측정결과와 비교하였으며, 그 결과 본 예측 모델이 비교적 작은 오차를 냄을 확인하였다.

철도선로구간의 노후도는 궤도, 노반, 교량, 터널 등 요소시설의 노후도로 결정되며 궤도의 선형 또한 선로구간 노후도에 영향을 준다. 본 논문에서는 계층구조분석(analytic hierarchy process: AHP)과 자료포락분석(data envelopment analysis: DEA)을 활용하여 선로구간의 노후도를 평가하는 방법을 제시한다. AHP는 다수의 전문가들이 평가하는 각 요소시설의 중요도를 체계적으로 파악할 수 있도록 해준다. 요소시설에 대한 중요도는 전문가에 따라 달라질 수 있다. DEA는 선로구간 요소시설의 중요도 가중치 범위를 체계적으로 반영하여 선로구간의 노후도를 평가할 수 있도록 해준다.

산지가 전국토의 70%를 차지하는 국내 지형의 특성으로 인하여, 철도선로 전체 노선의 상당부분을 교량구간이 차지한다. 이에 따라 교량 설계 시 경제성 증가를 위하여 경간장을 늘리는 것이 유리하지만 궤도-교량 상호작용에 의한 레일의 부가축응력, 변위 등의 문제로 인한 제약이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 궤도와 교량 상판 사이에 설치되는 슬라이딩 층을 고려한 궤도-교량 상호작용 해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석 결과를 통해 슬라이딩층 설치 방법에 따른 상호작용 거동을 분석하였으며, 궤도-교량 상호작용이 저감된 새로운 궤도-교량 구조시스템의 개발방향을 제안하였다.
