It is increasing construction of long span railway bridge with concrete track system for speed up of railway and efficient maintenance of track. As the sleeper of the concrete track system layed on a bridge is fixed on deck of the bridge, the displacement of the sleeper and deck is same. Therefore, the spacing between two sleeper installed at the end of the adjacent deck near the expansion joint of bridge becomes vary according to the longitudinal expansion of a deck by temperature change. By the way, if the spacing of sleepers become increase excessively, it causes large bending stress of in a rail, and it can leads failure or reduction of fatigue life of the rail. Further more, the excessive displacement of the rail may induce decrease ride comfort as well as corrugation of rail surface. Therefore, it is required to determine the allowable maximum sleeper spacing to prevent such problems. For the purpose, investigation on the influence factor on sleeper spacing for straight track was carried out. Variation of bending moment in a rail, wheel force, and the ratio of primary and secondary deflection of the rail according to sleeper spacing was investigated, and, as a result, the maximum allowable sleeper spacing at the bridge expansion joint was suggested.

And also the excessive displacement of the rail may induce decrease ride comfort. Therefore, in order to prevent such problems, the allowable maximum sleeper spacing at a bridge expansion joint was mutually determined. And, the determination procedure of the maximum bridge expansion length based on the allowable sleeper spacing was suggested.

본 연구에서는, 철로(railway track)의 공명현상을 제어할 수 있는 침목(sleeper) 간격의 최적화에 대한 이론적 고찰을 소개한다. 이러한 현상을 제어하기 위해 목적함수가 파동 투과율(wave transmittance) 그리고 설계변수가 침목 분포인 최소화 문제를 제안한다. 해석에서 철제 궤도(rail)은 티모셴코(Timoshenko) 빔, 침목은 질량으로 표현하였다. 무한 철로는 유한한 최적설계 영역의 양 끝단에 투과경계조건(transmitting boundary)를 부여함으로써 구현하였다. 수치예제를 통하여 침목의 간격에 따른 투과율의 감소의 효과를 살펴보았다. 또한, 하모닉(harmonic) 하중 하에서 응답해석을 통한 진동의 제어 관점에서 제안된 방법의 적합성을 보였다.

Maglev System is expected to be a new public transportation for future because of its special characteristics. Sleepers of railway role on transferring the lateral load to guideway for Maglev and controlling the distance between rails. Variation of distance of sleepers can affect dynamic responses for maglev guideway. In this paper, Daejon maglev guideway is analyzed to find proper tie spacing of a maglev system. The analysis included using a maglev trainload and also the dead load as the primary forces on bridges. Not only the dynamic behavior of bridges is investigated under sleeper conditions, but also impact factor about vertical displacement on the guideway is produced. This guideway is analyzed in four cases followed by changing spacing of sleeper and then obtained dynamic characteristics such as displacements, acceleration and impact factor by Finite Element Analysis.

The railroad under operation has very sharp curves and the state of ballast is somewhat deteriorated due to the traffic loads, which put some constraints in converting the conventional rails into CWR. In making CWR, the determination whether the ballast has sufficient capacity for resisting buckling must be made, quantitatively and qualitatively, and schemes to guarantee the required lateral resistance of ballast should be proposed. In this study, using the in-situ investigated data, the probability of buckling of CWR is given for several installation temperatures for CWR. The effect of tamping, DTS, and sleeper spacing are taken into account. The buckling probability is given as a function of curvature and installation temperature of CWR and works used to increase the ballast resistance capacity after tamping, i.e., DTS and reduction of sleeper sparing.

This study is devoted to developing many new substructure models for ballasted railway track by using the pyramid model philosophy. As the effect of railway embankment has been less considered in the previous studies in the field of vehicle/track interaction, so the present study develops the pyramid models in the presence of railway embankment and implements them in vehicle/track interaction dynamic analyses. Considering a moving car body as multi bodies with 10 degrees of freedom and the ballasted track including rail, sleeper, ballast, subgrade and embankment, two categories of numerical analyses are performed by considering the new substructure systems including type A (initiation of stress overlap areas in adjacent sleepers from the ballast layer) or type B (initiation of stress overlap areas in adjacent sleepers from the subgrade layer). A comprehensive sensitivity analyses are performed on effective parameters such as ballast height, sleepers spacing and sleeper width. The results indicate that the stiffness of subgrade, embankment and foundation increased by increasing the ballast height. Also, by increasing the ballast height, rail and ballast vertical displacement decreased.

A sharp curved ballasted track on earthwork that was connected with a direct fixation slab track on steel box railway bridges have been deformed and damaged despite the frequently maintenance by a restoring force of sharp curved rail and track-bridge interaction forces such as axial forces and longitudinal displacement of continuous welded rail(CWR) owing to their structural characteristics, calling for alternatives to improve the structural safety and track irregularity. In this study, the authors aim to prove a cause of deformation for the sharp curved ballasted tracks to enhance the structural safety and track irregularity of ballasted track in service. A track-bridge interaction analysis and a finite-element method analysis for the sharp curved ballasted track were performed to consider the axial force and longitudinal displacement of CWR, the temperature and the effect of restoring force of sharp curved rail. From the results, the deformation of the sharp curved ballasted track with adjusted sleeper spacing from 833mm to 590mm were significantly reduced.

이 연구에서는 연속철근 콘크리트궤도에서의 균열의 원인과 균열 발생에 미치는 주요 영향인자를 파악해 보고자 경부고속철도 콘크리트궤도 구간에서 균열 발생 현황과 발생 패턴을 조사하고, 연속철근 콘크리트궤도의 구조를 감안한 2차원 비선형 유한요소해석모델을 이용하여 슬래브 상부와 기층 하부의 온도차와 콘크리트 수축에 의한 연속철근 콘크리트궤도(CRCT)에서의 균열 발생 패턴을 예측하였다. 연구 결과에 따르면 온도차와 콘크리트 건조수축에 의해 침목과 슬래브(TCL) 경계부 및 침목하부에서 균열이 발달할 것으로 예상되고, 이는 현장 조사에서 발생한 균열의 발생 위치와 일치한다. 또한 온도차에 대해서는 열팽창계수가, 콘크리트 수축에 대해서는 건조수축 변형율이 상대적으로 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났고, 침목이 TCL에 매립되어 있어서 균열 간격이 반드시 철근비에 비례하지 않을 수 있으므로 이러한 CRCT의 구조적 특성을 감안하여 철근비를 정할 필요가 있다.

철도교는 일반적으로 설계하중에 근접한 열차하중이 빈번하게 통과할 가능성이 있으므로, 초기설계단계부터 여러 구조상세에 대해 피로특성을 충분한 반영하는 것이 필요하다. 그럼에도 불구하고 철도교에 작용하는 축하중의 크기 및 배치 특성, 피로에 대한 부적절한 구조상세의 적용 등으로 인하여 강철도 플레이트거더교에서 부분적으로 피로균열이 보고되고 있다. 상부플랜지와 복부의 용접이음부에서의 피로균열의 주요 발생 원인의 하나는 침목을 지지하는 주거더와 열차하중이 작용되는 레일과의 중심간격 차이에 따른 열차하중의 편심작용에 의한 것이다. 이 연구에서는 공용중인 강철도 상로플레이트거더교를 대상으로 현장조사 및 현장계측, 일련의 구조해석을 실시하고, 대상교량의 구조거동 특성 및 피로균열의 발생 원인의 규명, 보수 보강(안)에 대하여 검토하였다.
