Structural Performance Assessment of Derailment Containment Provision for Railway using a Grid Steel Frame
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The structural performance of derailment containment provision (DCP) was investigated using a grid steel frame. The DCP which was installed within the gauge of a track was capable of resisting the impact loading in the case of derailed wheels. It was also possible to control the excessive lateral movement of the derailed train. In this study, the structural performance of DCP with a post-installed anchor to a railway concrete sleeper was evaluated. For this purpose, a total of nine specimens were manufactured and static tests were conducted to investigate the structural performance. Furthermore, the shear resistance of the connecting anchor was also evaluated using grid steel frame specimens. The initial test indicated that the developed DCP for railway using grid steel frames had sufficient load-carrying capacity and performance equivalent to about 150% of the design load. The developed DCP also demonstrated sufficient load-carrying capacity up to about 140% of the designed load in combination tests that simulated conceivable boundary conditions. As analytical results, the overall DCP behavior for the specimen railway that utilized grid steel frames was appropriately tracked, and detailed information was presented.
