The contact wire pre-sag in railway overhead catenary has been considered as a innovative idea which improves the current collection quality and is expected to evenly distribute wear along a span. However, long term studies on the effects of pre-sag, especially on the quantitative wear pattern of the contact wire, have not yet been reported. Therefore, in this study, the pre-sag and wear pattern of the contact wire along a span from long term operation of railway in Korea was surveyed. The examination was conducted on 3 lines, the Gyeongbu high-speed line with pre-sag of span/2000, the Gyeongbu existing line without pre-sag, and Gyeongchun line with pre-sag installation on 1/1000 of its span. The wear measurements of 58 sample spans were examined. The wear pattern analysis show no interrelationships between pre-sag and evenly distributed wear, but more wear occurred at the center of a span compared to the ends of the span, especially more noticeable as span length increases.

The railway catenary is softer in the middle of a span than at the end. This stiffness variation induce the vertical motion of a moving pantograph, which results in the large variation of contact forces. To reduce the vertical motion of a pantograph, we can introduce a pre-sag of the contact wire. The pre-sag changes merely equilibrium position of the contact wire. Because the pantograph must follow the sag added to the motion of the contact wire, the sag gives downward forces to the pantograph. If the pre-sag is proper, the variation of the vertical motion of the pantograph is reduced. However, excessive sag worses the current collection performance because the pantograph receives too large downward forces by the contact wire. The objective of the paper is to establish the theoretical basis to understand how the pre-sag affect the contact force variation and to propose the proper sag for the railway catenary for the train speed up to 200 km/h.

400km/h급 전차선로가 우리나라에 시범 부설되었다. 400km/h 심플 커티너리를 설계함에 있어서 사전이도를 어떻게 해야 하는가는 관심이 집중된 엔지니어링 항목이다. 사전이도는 일정 고속 대역에서 집전성능을 향상시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 400km/h 속도에서 효과에 대해서는 아직 정립되어있지 않다. 400km/h 커티너리에서 적절한 사전이도량을 파악하기 위하여 사전이도 0과 1/3000 조건에서 전차선과 팬터그래프 사이 동적 성능 예측 시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 이 예측에 근거하여 400km/h 전차선로 설계에서는 0 사전이도를 채택하였다. 그리고 400km/h 전차선로 시범구간(28km)을 건설하면서 일부구간에 1/3000 사전이도 구간(약 1km)을 조성하였다. HEMU-430X 열차를 투입하여 사전이도 조성 구간을 포함하여 시범구간에서 접촉력 측정을 실시하였다. 본 논문에서는 사전이도 조성 구간과 사전이도가 없는 구간의 동적 성능(접촉력)에 대하여 기술하며 그 둘을 비교한다. 결론적으로 400km/h 전차선로에서 사전이도를 주지 않은 구간이 1/3000 사전이도 구간보다 양호한 동적(집전) 성능을 나타냄을 해석적 및 실험적 검토를 통하여 확인하였다.

For the improvement of a train speed in the conventional line from overhead system point of view, it is necessary to approach not only in the aspect of the increasement of tension for catenary but the application of a pre-sag. A certain tension acting on a dropper is removed when it is slack by the pantograph passing. Right after the pantograph passes, the dynamic force caused by the mass of contact wire acts on the dropper. If the pre-sag is applied to the catenary, the static force on the dropper is increased. For the assurance of the safety for the dropper, it is necessary to predict the dynamic force. The purpose of this study is to predict and analyze the force on the dropper according to the applied pre-sag.

Cable supported structures offer an elegant and economical solution for bridging over long spans with resultant low material content and ease of construction. In this paper, a model of shallow cable supported footbridge with reverse profiled pre-tensioned cables is treated and its load deformation characteristics under different quasi-static loads are investigated. Effects of important parameters such as cable sag and pre-tension are also studied. Numerical results performed on a 3D model show that structural stiffness of this bridge (model) depends not only on the cable sag and cross sectional areas of the cables, but also on the pre-tension in the reverse profiled cables. The tension in the top supporting cables can be adjusted to a high level by the pre-tension in the reverse profiled bottom cables, with the total horizontal force in the bridge structure remaining reasonably constant. It is also evident that pre-tensioned horizontally profiled cables can greatly increase the lateral horizontal stiffness and suppress the lateral horizontal deflection induced by eccentric vertical loads.

본 논문은 경부 고속선과 같이 사전이도가 주어지는 기설 전차선로에서 전차선 장력만을 증가시켜 임시적인 속도 향상 도모하는 경우에 팬터그래프와 습동하는 전차선의 접촉 평면상의 기하학적 형상의 변화가 어떻게 될 것인가를 검토한 것이다. 검토를 위하여 우선 사전이도가 있는 경우에도 정확히 드로퍼 길이를 계산해 낼 수 있는 드로퍼 길이 계산 수식에 대하여 알아보았다. 다음으로 드로퍼 길이 계산 수식을 프로그램화한 전용계산 프로그램을 이용하여 경부고속선 전차선로의 49.5m 경간을 대상으로 전차선 장력을 20kN에서 23kN 및 25kN으로 증가시켰을 때 사전이도량의 변화를 계산하여보았다. 그리고 경부 2단계 구간 현장에서 실제 장력 증가 실험을 실시하여 사전이도량의 변화를 측정하였다. 측정 결과는 계산 값과 비교 검토를 수행하였으며, 결론적으로 전차선 장력을 증가시켜도 기하학적 형상의 변화는 미미하며 집전 성능에 별 영향이 없을 것임을 확인하였다.

Passive negative stiffness dampers (NSDs) that possess superior energy dissipation abilities, have been proved to be more efficient than commonly adopted passive viscous dampers in controlling stay cable vibrations. Recently, inertial mass dampers (IMDs) have attracted extensive attentions since their properties are similar to NSDs. It has been theoretically predicted that superior supplemental damping can be generated for a taut cable with an IMD. This paper aims to theoretically investigate the impact of the cable sag on the efficiency of an IMD in controlling stay cable vibrations, and experimentally validate superior vibration mitigation performance of the IMD. Both the numerical and asymptotic solutions were obtained for an inclined sag cable with an IMD installed close to the cable end. Based on the asymptotic solution, the cable attainable maximum modal damping ratio and the corresponding optimal damping coefficient of the IMD were derived for a given inertial mass. An electromagnetic IMD (EIMD) with adjustable inertial mass was developed to investigate the effects of inertial mass and cable sag on the vibration mitigation performance of two model cables with different sags through series of first modal free vibration tests. The results show that the sag generally reduces the attainable first modal damping ratio of the cable with a passive viscous damper, while tends to increase the cable maximum attainable modal damping ratio provided by the IMD. The cable sag also decreases the optimum damping coefficient of the IMD when the inertial mass is less than its optimal value. The theoretically predicted first modal damping ratio of the cable with an IMD, taking into account the sag generally, agrees well with that identified from experimental results, while it will be significantly overestimated with a taut-cable model, especially for the cable with large sag.

Cable-supported ribbed beam composite slab structure (CBS) is proposed in this study. As a new cable-supported structure, it has many merits such as long span availability and cost-saving. Inspired by the previous research on cable-supported structures, the fabrication and construction process are developed. Pre-stress design method based on static equilibrium analysis is presented. In the algorithm, the iteration convergence can be accelerated and the calculation result can be kept in an acceptable precision by setting a rational threshold value. The accuracy of this method is also verified by experimental study on a 1:5 scaled model. Further, important parameters affecting the mechanical features of the CBS are discussed. The results indicate that the increases of sag-span ratio, depth of the ribbed beam and cable diameter can improve the mechanical behavior of the CBS by some extent, but the influence of strut sections on mechanical behavior of the CBS is negligible.

The dropper length calculation method about the normal same encumbrance spans is well known independent to whether the pre-sag is given or not. But, the dropper length calculation method for the elevating span which consists in the end area of a tensioning section and normally consists with overlaps is not well known. In this study, firstly, we investigate the dropper length calculation method about the elevating span whether the insulator is contained in or not, we also recognize the effect of dropper length due to the change of the take-off point. Secondly, we very this calculation method with a catenary sample data and check again with Gyeongbu HSL design data.
