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.

CWR(Continuous Welded Rail) and bridge interaction produce rail force, bridge displacement and rail/bridge relative displacement. Each of these has limitation by many codes. In this paper, analysis of interaction has been carried out by using foreign codes(UIC 774-3 R code of Europe etc.) because there is no code about interaction between rail and bridge in Korea. Recently, railway bridges with CWR has been constructed for structural and economical reasons. When designer plans railway bridges, design a bridge model first and then investigate railway forces and displacement by interaction analysis. If these results go out bounds from limitation, designer plans railway bridges again and again. In this paper, using the parametric study on CWR and railway bridge interaction, railway bridge parameters such as length of bridge span, area of bridge, moment of inertia, stiffness of pier, etc. are presented. It helps preliminary design of railway bridges.

Among rail defects, the transverse crack, which has been the most dangerous fatigue damage, is developed from shelling near the rail running face and grows perpendicular to the rail surface. Moreover, the crack has occurred frequently fatigue damage during winter. Therefore, to assure the safety of railway vehicles, it is necessary to investigate growth behavior of transverse crack for rail steel. In this study, fatigue crack growth behavior of rail steel and its gas pressure welded part at room and low temperature are performed. The fatigue crack growth rate of the welded part was lower than that of the base part within a lower ${\Delta}K$ region at both room and low temperature, and this difference decreases with increasing the ${\Delta}K$ due to the decrease of the fracture toughness.

수 십년 동안 철도는 비교적 짧은 길이의 레일을 신축이음을 두고 연결한 궤도로 건설되었다. 신축 이음은 궤도에 손상과 유지비 증가 등의 많은 단점들을 유발시켰다. 그래서 철도 기술자들은 신축이음부를 제거하는데 관심을 가지게 되었다. 장대레일 궤도는 기존의 레일에 비해 많은 잇점들을 가지게 되었지만, 온도에 의한 갑작스런 횡방향 좌굴이라는 새로운 문제를 야기 시켰다. 본 연구에서는 우선 침목의 영향을 정확히 고려한 장대 레일 궤도의 3차원 해석 모텔과 해석 프로그램을 유한 요소법을 사용하여 개발하여 선형 정적 해석 및 좌굴 해석을 수행할 수 있도록 하였다. 개발된 해석 모델의 특징은 레일요소로 7자유도의 보요소를 사용한 것과 궤도 구성요소의 도심축의 차이를 정확히 고려한 옵셋기법의 사용, 그리고 레일 단면내의 온도 구배를 고려한 것이다. 다음으로, CWRB에 의한 선형 정적해석 및 좌굴해석을 통해, 장대레일 궤도의 거동 및 안정성에대한 다양한 궤도 구성요소들(레일, 도상, 체결재, 침목 등..)의 영향을 고찰하였다.

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.

Until now, the railway has been constructed using track with jointed rails of relatively short lengths to allow thermal expansion in hot summer months. These joints weaken the track structurally and increase track maintenance cost and power consumption of the running train. The CWR(Continuous Welded Rail) Track is the solution of these drawbacks. Although the CWR track not only reduces the track maintenance cost but also increases the life cycle of track components, the stability of the track is highly affected by change of temperatures and vehicle load. A three dimensional nonlinear analysis which considers rail, fastening system and tie has been performed to understand structural behavior of the CWR track. In this case, the translational and rotational stiffness values of fastening system have not been studied. The fastening system makes ties and rails connect. In this study, the stiffness values of various types of fastening systems which consist of clips, rail-pads and insulators are determined by the experiment. The experimental results of the fastening system are compared with the results of parametric study that is performed to investigate the sensitivity of fastening system on stability of CWR track.

It is reported that about more than 45% of damage shown in railroad rails include breakage of rail end which cross the center of Thermit welded zone. Thermite welding is always accompanied by numerous aluminum oxide and secondary inclusions, which may have a negative influence on the ductility and toughness of the weld metal. In this study the aluminum powder recycled by waste aluminum can was used for iron oxide generated after the process of welding rod and the remain aluminum was reduced by minimizing the quantity of aluminum. And complete dissolution was induced by using ferro Mn powder as the additive element. This study reviewed the applicability of heat treatment in the welded zone of rail using ceramic heating pad by carrying it out. This study could observe the improvement of the mechanical characteristics (UTS and elongation) and the changes of failure mechanism from brittleness to ductility. It could be found that improved strength and elongation result from pearilte fine structure.

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.
