Building information modeling (BIM) is appropriate for the design of modular structures due to their parametric modeling technologies. This paper proposed the parametric models of modular bridge piers with multiple concrete filled steel tubes. Knowledge obtained from research works including design and fabrication was embedded in the 3D information models.
In this paper, the methodology to develop web-based assembly system with BIM(Building Information Modeling) technology for modular bridge is proposed. The system has three main parts that are composed of standardized part library, assemble module, and virtual construction. The web-based assembly design program for modular bridge could be widely used for rapid construction of bridges with module library information.
This study proposes a method to define Information Delivery Manual (IDM) for effective assembly process of modular steel bridge. Assembly process is identified according to assembly step then process algorithm for defining Exchange Requirement (ER) is proposed.
This paper presents the results of researches to developing the precast modular bridges. Procedures to decide types of bridges, results of the optimizations to minimize the cross sectional areas, concepts of joints between modules, and the results of the experimental tests to evaluate the performance of joints are presented in this paper. It is expected that the precast modular bridges may be the effective alternatives to rapidly replace deteriorated bridges and damaged bridges by disasters.
During modular bridge construction, the construction delay and the problems of workability due to the high-altitude operations are occurred by using in-site concrete diaphragm. To solve these problems, selected alternative suitable for modular bridge diaphragm is needed. Therefore, in this study, to select the suitable diaphragm for modular PSC T-Girder bridge, seven diaphragm specimens were fabricated and static loading tests were carried out. Through the static load tests, the behavior of diaphragm in terms of joints and load distribution was observed and experimental results were analyzed and compared with each data. Finally, the alternative of suitable diaphragm for modular PSC T-Girder bridge was proposed considering the structural performance and workability.
Girder type modular bridge requires using ductile fiber reinforced concrete slab(link slab) structure to connect each girder modules at interior support points. This study presents the results of experimental evaluation on the properties and fracture energy of ductile fiber reinforced concrete for jointless modular bridge.
Time dependent material characteristics of concrete affects serviceability and safety due to long term deformation of concrete. Thus, in this paper, the long term behavior of a precast modular bridge by using ACI 209R-92, B3, CEB MC90-99, considering the most influenced factors: creep and shrinkage.
According as tracks are twisted on running, wheel loads applied to outer rail are increased on curved track. Canting on tracks considering the balance cant allows to have permissible cant deficiency. The test bed area of Ho-Nam high railway is planed for 400km/h Speedup test, cant deficiency is expected to generate centrifugal load in the curve. Therefore, Korean design criteria recommend to increase maximum 20% of wheel load. This study shows that normalized wheel load variations are analyzed its stationary in inner and outer rail when centrifugal forces in outer rail of a curve are caused by curve radius, cant, velocity. Vertical wheel loads are reviewed on the behaviors of each structural element according to the increase of velocity.
Common feature of displacement-based sensing is that the high-frequency resolution is limited, and often relatively low sampling rates are used. Another problem is that integration of accelerometer data that causes low-frequency noise amplification, and potentially more problematic differentiation of displacement measurements which amplify high-frequency noise. A multi-rate Kalman filtering approach is proposed to solve these problems. This method yields highly accurate motion data.
Recently, power distributed high-speed train with 430km/h(HEMU-430X) has developed in korea, 2012. However, the development of the train alone can not achieve the speed of high-speed rail system. So it needs the development of infrastructure system. In this paper, the project named “Application & technology development of high-speed rail infrastructure for 400km/h-class” being promoted in december 2010 will be introduced comprehensively.
The detail design for overhead line can be divided into a MD(Mounting Diagram) design and pegging plan process. A MD design for a high-speed overhead line was performed by the design software. The MD design of Honam High-Speed catenary system was also performed the software. However, the MD design software for 400km/h overhead line is needed, because the tension of wires and conditions are different from 350km/h system. Therefore, in this study, a MD design software for 400km/h overhead line system is developed.
In this study, it was investigated dynamic behaviors of track roadbed with various loading frequency with real train loading using a full scale testing as MTS system. The dynamic behaviors of track roadbed system was increased linear regression with increased loading frequency at less than 35Hz, but was decreased at wheel load, displacement, and acceleration over 35Hz. It was found that critical loading frequency was about 35Hz, and that velocity level of train speed was evaluated about 320km/h~340km/h.
To evaluate residual settlement of the high-speed railway trackbed, it is hard to apply immediately settlement analysis because in-situ ground has additional creep or secondary consolidation behavior. To select the settlement analysis method, this study compared measurement data with hyperbolic, Asaoka, Hoshino method result. All residual settlement analysis method has a tendency to be underestimated because of in-situ creep behavior, however all the method are reliable because R2 is high(over 0.94) and RMSE(Root Mean Square Error) is low. The additional measurement data comparison shows that hyberbolic method is the most appropriate method with high accuracy and application.
This study, for the development of next generation high speed railway system of a train which has maximum speed over 400km/h, is to develop core generic environmental technologies which are soundproof technology. Also this technology contains the emitting noise performance of high speed operated trains. The ultimate purpose of this study is to develop a new technology of core sound proof system which is more economical and efficient to cope with the noise increased about 7~9dB as the operating speed increased to 400km/h. In view of technology, this study is to the new soundproof shape design, noise absorbing material development, core soundproof facility development, noise reduction method which contains the aerodynamic characteristics of noise, the concrete bed track reflecting noise reduction, the specifications absorbing block of concrete bed and the installation and management of core soundproof system.
