Abstract

Plastic deformation of roadbed influences the stability and maintenance of concrete slab track. Long-term plastic deformation in a railway roadbed is generated primarily due to accumulated inelastic strains caused by repeated passing of trains. Prediction of cumulative plastic deformation is important in cost-effective maintenance of railway tracks as well as for the safe operation of trains. In this study, the vertical displacements in railway roadbeds with different thicknesses of reinforced roadbed were computed. Parameters of the power model for cumulative plastic strain were calibrated by using the data from triaxial tests and full-scale loading tests. Results of three-dimensional finite element analyses of standard roadbed sections provide us with design guidelines for the selection of the thickness of reinforced roadbed.

노반 성토체에서 발생하는 소성 변형은 콘크리트 궤도의 안정성과 유지보수에 영향을 미친다. 철도 노반에서의 장기적인 소성 변형은 주로 반복적인 열차 통과로 발생하는 누적된 비탄성적 변형률에 의해 발생한다. 누적 소성 변형의 예측은 궤도의 유지보수와 열차의 안전한 운영을 위해서 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 강화노반 두께를 가진 철도노반에서 발생하는 연직 변위를 계산하였다. 누적 소성 변형률을 계산하기 위한 멱함수의 상수는 삼축 실험과 실대형 재하 실험의 결과로부터 구하였다. 표준 노반 단면에 대한 3차원 유한요소해석 결과로부터 강화노반의 두께를 선정하는 가이드라인을 제시하였다.
