The track and bridge interaction should be considered for the safety check of railway bridge design as the longitudinal forces transmitted to rail and bridge are changed by longitudinal stiffness of bridge system. The longitudinal stiffness of bridge structures is determined by the magnitude of the ballast resistance, the expansion length of superstructure, and longitudinal stiffness of substructure including pier and foundations. In this study, the main factors affect on the longitudinal rail forces are discussed and the computational parametric analysis of rail forces considering rail-bridge interactions. And the required range of stiffness of sub-structures and span length for the assurance of safety of CWR(continuous welded rail) track is suggested.

Recently, use of Continuous Welded rail(CWR) is increased for structural, economical reason but new problem is caused accordingly and phenomenon that give threat in traveling by ship stability of train is led. According as rail is prolonged, excessive relative displacement and longitudinal force can happen to rail by temperature change and external force. Specially, buckling or fracture of rail can happen in railroad bridges because relative displacement by bridge and properties of matter difference between rail grows and additional axial force happens to rail by behavior of bridge. According to several study, longitudinal force of rail in bridge is influenced with ballast resistance, elongation length, boundary condition, stiffness of framework. Non-linear behavior of ballast acts by the most important factor in interaction between rail and bridge. Therefore, must consider stiffness of bridge construction with non-linear characteristic of ballast and stiffness of base for accuracy with longitudinal force calculation and analyze. In this study, perform material non-linear analysis for longitudinal force of CWR and three dimensional buckling analysis to decide buckling force.

본 연구는 교량/궤도 종방향 해석 및 교량/차량 동적영향을 고려한 설계기법에 대한 효율성 및 경제성을 증명하기 위하여 수행하였다. 신뢰성에 기초한 생애주기비용 최적설계는 기존 설계기법에 의한 설계, 초기비용에 기초한 최적설계, 등가 생애주기비용 최적설계에 의한 최적설계와 비교하기 위하여 5$\times$(1@50m) 경간 소수주형 교량을 대상으로 적용하였다. 신뢰성에 기초한 최적설계 결과 교량/궤도 종방향 해석 및 교량/차량 동적영향을 고려한 고속철도 교량 설계 단면이 교량/궤도 종방향 해석 및 교량/차량 동적영향을 고려하지 않은 설계 단면보다 훨씬 효율적임을 확인 하였다.

본 연구는 지진이 발생할 경우 장대레일교량에 있어 레일과 상판 간의 종방향 상호작용에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위한 것으로, 해석모델에 여러 하중조합과 함께 지진하중을 적용함으로써 대상 철도교량 레일에서의 축방향 부가응력과 레일-상판 간 상대변위의 변화를 산출하였다. 해석 결과, 본 연구 대상 철도교량의 경우 철도시설공단에서 제시하고 있는 표준응답스펙트럼을 적용할 때 레일부가응력은 대부분의 하중조합에 대해 허용기준 내의 값을 보이고 있는 반면, 레일-상판 상대변위는 공단에서 제시하는 허용기준을 초과하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 레일-상판 상대변위가 레일부가응력에 비해 상대적으로 더 허용기준을 만족시키기 어렵다는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 아울러 고베 대지진과 같은 큰 규모의 지진이 발생하면 레일부가응력과 레일-상판 상대변위는 허용기준을 충족시키지 못하므로 이에 대한 적절한 내진 대비가 필요하다.

Track-bridge interaction (TBI) problem often arises from the adoption of modern continuously welded rails. Rail expansion devices (REDs) are generally required to release the intensive interaction between long-span bridges and tracks. In their necessity evaluations, the key techniques are the numerical models and methods for obtaining TBI responses. This paper thus aims to propose a preferable model and the associated procedure for TBI analysis to facilitate the designs of long-span bridges as well as the track structures. A novel friction-spring model was first developed to represent the longitudinal resistance features of fasteners with or without vertical wheel loadings, based on resistance experiments for three types of rail fasteners. This model was then utilized in the loading-history-based TBI analysis for an urban rail transit dwarf tower cable-stayed bridge installed with a RED at the middle. The finite element model of the long-span bridge for TBI analysis was established and updated by the bridge's measured natural frequencies. The additional rail stresses calculated from the TBI model under train loadings were compared with the measured ones. Overall agreements were observed between the measured and the computed results, showing that the proposed TBI model and analysis procedure can be used in further study.

Railway bridges have a significant effect on the stress and displacement of continuous welded rail(CWR). Longitudinal compression force at high temperature, combined breaking or acceleration forces can introduce track buckling. On the other hand, longitudinal tensile forces, associated with low temperatures, in combination with breaking forces may break rail. Therefore, it is very important to work out thorough counter measures for those problems, specially in high speed rail which high safety is required. The exact evaluation of longitudinal force of rail has the key to the solution. The main aim of the present paper is to examine whether the longitudinal force of CWR's on Kyung-Bu-HSR satisfy the criteria to be fulfilled in the design of railway bridge. The analyses are carried out by using "CWRAP" program which was developed by our research group. The ballast resistance and breaking force effects on the longitudinal force of CWR are investigated.

In case of the continuous welded rail(CWR) track is supported by the railway bridge, the additional axial force is occurred in the CWR due to the track-bridge interaction. In the various design codes such as Korean code, European code, UIC code, etc, three important loads(temperature variation in the bridge-deck, braking/acceleration and the bending of the bridge-deck resulted from the passing train) are treated as the independent loading case. In other words, the additional axial force can be obtained by summing up the three different values calculated by the three independent analysis. However, this analysing method may have an error because the behavior of the longitudinal resistance between the rail and the bridge-deck is under the highly nonlinear. Therefore, in order to exactly analyse the track-bridge interaction, nonlinear loading history and the change of the longitudinal resistance owing to the loading history must be considered in the analysis process. In this study, the loading history effect on the track-bridge interaction is investigated considering the resonable combination of three loads and the longitudinal resistance change.

장대레일을 적용한 교량상 콘크리트 궤도는 온도하중 및 시제동 하중에 의하여 종방향 상호작용력이 크게 발생하며, 이를 해소하기 위하여 활동체결장치 또는 저체결력 체결장치와 같은 특수체결장치를 적용하거나 레일신축이음장치를 설치하여야 한다. 슬라이딩 슬래브 궤도는 교량과 궤도 슬래브 사이에 슬라이드층을 두어 상호작용을 저감시킬 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이 연구에서는 슬라이딩 궤도와 일반 콘크리트 궤도를 적용한 교량에 대하여 상호작용 해석 결과를 제공한다. 해석 결과 슬라이딩 궤도를 적용함으로써 장대레일에 발생하는 부가 축력을 현저히 저감시킬 수 있는 것으로 밝혀졌으며, 그 차이는 장경간 및 연속교에서 더욱 큰 것으로 나타났다.

Considerable longitudinal rail forces and displacements may develop in continuous welded rail (CWR) track on long-span bridges due to temperature variations. The track stability may be disturbed due to excessive relative displacements between the sleepers and ballast bed and the accompanied reduction in frictional resistance. For high-speed tracks, however, solving these problems by installing rail expansion devices in the track is not an attractive solution as these devices may cause a local disturbance of the vertical track stiffness and track geometry which will require intensive maintenance. With reference to temperature, two actions are considered by the bridge loading standards, the uniform variation in the rail and deck temperature and the temperature gradient in deck. Generally, the effect of temperature gradient has been disregarded in the interaction analysis. This paper mainly deals with the effect of temperature gradient on the track-bridge interaction with respect to the support reaction, rail stresses and stability. The study presented in this paper was not mentioned in the related codes so far.

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.
