Abstract

Many infra suructure such as road, railway, building and utility foundations have been damaged by the repeated freezing and thawing of the soil during winter and spring every year in seasonal frost region. The frost penetration depth is most important factor in the design of structure such as road, railway and building in seasonal frost region. This paper presents the results of calculation of frost penetration depth and frost heaving in concrete track for railway construction. Model concrete track were installed near the railway track in Gangwon, Gyeonggi, Choongbuk province and frost penetration depth were measured using methylene blue frost penetration depth gauge. Model concrete track in Cheolwon, frost heaving of concrete track were also evaluated. The measure of maximum frost penetration depth and frost heaving can be applied to design railway track for cold region in Korea.

계절적 동토 지역에 건설되는 도로, 철도 등의 구조물은 동결 융해의 반복으로 인한 기후조건으로 인해 동상 피해가 발생한다. 구조물 건설 시 동결깊이는 계절적 동토 지역에 건설되는 도로, 철도의 구조물 설계에 매우 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 현장시험시공을 통한 고속철도 콘크리트 궤도의 동결깊이 및 동상량 계측을 수행하였다. 강원도, 경기도, 충청북도 철도노선 인근에 모형 콘크리트 궤도를 설치한 후 메틸렌블루를 이용한 동결깊이와 동상량을 측정하였다. 본 연구를 통해 계측된 최대 동결깊이 및 동상량은 국내 한랭지 철도노반설계를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
