Transferred Load Reduction effect on Paved Track Roadbed with Low Elastic Base Plate Pad

포장궤도에서의 저탄성패드 적용에 따른 전달하중 저감 효과

The track stiffness is determined by the pad stiffness. Low elastic pad is the most effective track component on the basis of stress-displacement characteristics, dynamic response and fatigue characteristics. It is more important in case of concrete track. The main objective of this paper is to confirm the reduction effect of train load, which transfer to roadbed through track. To achieve this object, numerical analysis and real scale repeated loading test was performed. The load reduction effect of low elastic pad was analyzed by using displacement, stress and strain ratio of the paved track at each point.
