Abstract

Since the track of the ballastless steel plate girder bridge is connected to a main girder without a deck and a ballast, the impact generated by train passage is transferred directly to bridge main members, and it can cause frequent damage of the bridge as well as higher noise and vibration level. Applying the CWR (Continuously Welded Rail) technology can reduce this structural problems, and, to this end, it is necessary to understand the characteristics of factors influencing vehicle-track or track-bridge interaction. In this paper, experimental study results are presented for examining the longitudinal resistance characteristics of the track, including a rail fastener, a sleeper fastener, and a track skeleton, installed on a ballastless steel plate girder bridge. The experiment is conducted using a disposed bridge from service, which is transported to a laboratory. The experimental results show that the rail fastener satisfies the performance criteria of the longitudinal resistance presented in KRS TR 0014-15, and the longitudinal resistance of old and new type sleeper fasteners is higher than the values provided in the existing research. Also, the unloaded longitudinal resistance of the ballastless track is between the ballast and the concrete tracks.

무도상 판형교는 교량 바닥판과 도상 없이 주거더에 궤도가 직접 연결되어 있는 구조로 열차 통과로 인하여 발생한 충격이 교량 주부재에 직접 전달되어 높은 수준의 소음 진동 뿐 아니라 교량의 잦은 손상을 유발하는 특성이 있다. 레일 장대화는 무도상 판형교의 이러한 구조적인 문제를 경감할 수 있으며, 이를 위해서는 차량-궤도 또는 궤도-교량 상호작용에 영향을 미치는 인자의 특성에 대한 명확한 이해가 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 레일체결장치, 침목고정장치 및 궤광을 포함한 실제 무도상 판형교에 설치되어 있는 궤도의 종방향 저항력 특성을 실험을 통하여 검토하였다. 실험은 유도상화 시공을 위하여 철거된 실제 교량을 실험실로 이송하여 수행하였다. 실험 결과 목침목용 레일체결장치의 종방향저항력은 KRS TR 0014-15의 성능합격기준을 만족하며, 교량침목고정장치의 종방향 저항력은 구형과 신형 모두 기존 연구보다 높은 값으로 나타났다. 또한 하중 비재하 시 무도상 궤도의 종방향 저항력은 자갈궤도와 콘크리트궤도 사이의 값으로 나타났다.
