Research on Dynamic Characteristics of High Speed Railway Subgrade-Bridge Transition Section Under Extreme Rail Surface Bending Angle Conditions
In order to explore the dynamic characteristics of subgrade-bridge transition sections under high speed driving conditions,three-dimensional finite element models were established for three types of subgrade-bridge transition sections:traditional type,joining slab type,and pile-slab type.The dynamic response of three types of subgrade-bridge transition sections was studied under the 1‰ ultimate rail surface deflection angle and two speed conditions of 350 km/h and 400 km/h.The results show that under the condition of 1‰ ultimate rail surface deflection angle,when the train speed increases from 350 km/h to 400 km/h,the vertical dynamic deformation and vertical acceleration of the subgrade surface in the three types of subgrade-bridge transition sections all increase,but they do not exceed the standard limit values at the current 350 km/h.The current design requirements for transition sections are still applicable to the traditional,joining slab type,and pile-slab type subgrade-bridge transition sections under the condition of train speed of 400 km/h.The maximum vertical dynamic deformation and acceleration of the transition section of the joining slab type subgrade-bridge transition section are 0.10 mm and 0.50 m/s2,respectively,which are less than their respective limits.Moreover,the differential settlement at the junction of the subgrade and bridge can be reduced through the joining slab,and the construction difficulty and engineering cost can be reduced.Taking into account the dynamic response requirements of the subgrade,the control effect on differential settlement,the construction difficulty,and the economy,the joining slab type subgrade-bridge transition section has the best comprehensive performance among the three types of subgrade-bridge transition sections.
