Es wurde ein Prognoseverfahren für Bahnerschütterungen ent-wickelt, das mit einfachen Modellen schnell Ergebnisse liefert. Dies sind physikalische Modelle, zum Beispiel 1-dimensionale Modelle mit Übertragungsmatrizen für die Fahrzeug-Fahrweg-Boden-Wechselwirkung und für die Gebäude-Boden Wechselwirkung. Damit werden die komplexen Verhältnisse bei der Emission (dem Zusammen¬wirken von Fahrzeug und Fahrweg), bei der Transmission durch den homogenen oder geschichteten Boden und bei der Immission in Gebäuden näherungsweise erfasst. In (Auersch, 2020) wird gezeigt, dass diese einfachen Prognosemodelle die Ergebnisse von detaillierten Modellen wie der Finite-Element-Randelement-Methode für das Gleis, die Wellenzahlintegrale für den Boden und 3-dimensionale Finite-Element-Modelle für das Gebäude gut wiedergeben können. Dies entspricht auch der Absicht, die Prognosemodelle aus den Ergebnissen der Detailmodelle abzuleiten. Die drei Prognoseteile werden getrennt berechnet, aber es werden physikalisch sinn¬volle Schnittstellen verwendet. Für die Emission und Transmission sind es die auf den Untergrund wirkenden Erregerkräfte von Fahrzeug und Fahrweg, für die Transmission und Immission sind es die Freifeldamplituden des Bodens.

This ground vibration component cannot be well explained by dynamic loads of the train. Many characteristics indicate that the axle impulses, which are scattered by an irregular soil, are the excitation. This new understanding of railway-induced ground vibration is verified by numerical analysis. The response of the regular homogeneous and irregular inhomogeneous soils has been calculated by the finite-element method in frequency domain. A specific superposition of the impulse responses has been invented including time shift, axle sequence, track filter and hanning filter. The superposition yields the quasi-static component of the ground vibration which is restricted to very low frequencies and to the close near-field of the track. In case of an irregular soil of which the stiffness varies randomly in space, the superposition yields a mid-frequency ground vibration component from the scattering of the axle impulses. The existence and the importance of this component can thus be demonstrated by the calculations. Some rules of the influence of distance, train speed, soil stiffness, strength and width of the stiffness variation have been derived from the calculations. Many measurements show the unique explanation of the mid-frequency ground vibration component by the scattered axle impulses.

T1 - Cumulative Failure Probability of Deteriorating Structures: Can It Drop? N2 - The reliability of deteriorating structures at time t is quantified by the probability that failure occurs within the period leading up to time t. This probability is often referred to as cumulative failure probability and is equal to the cumulative distribution function of the time to failure. In structural reliability, an estimate of the cumulative failure probability is obtained based on probabilistic Engineering models of the deterioration processes and structural performance. Information on the condition and the loading contained in inspection and monitoring data can be included in the probability estimate through Bayesian updating. Conditioning the probability of failure on the inspection or monitoring outcomes available at time t (e.g. detections or no detection of damages) can lead to a reduction in that probability. Such a drop in the cumulative failure probability might seem counterintuitive since the cumulative failure probability is a non-decreasing function of time. In this paper, we illustrate—with the help of a numerical example—that such a drop is possible because the cumulative probability before and after the updating is not based on the same information, hence not on the same probabilistic model.

Hammer impacts and train passages have been analysed. Measurements have been performed by geophones (velocity transducers) which have been time-integrated to displacements. The calculations are done in frequency-wavenumber domain for multi-beam-on-continuous soil models. The characteristics of the different tracks and track elements have been established in theory and experiment. The frequency-dependent compliances (displacement transfer functions) show clear rail-on-rail-pad resonances or highly damped track-soil resonances. Compared to the rail and sleeper, the track plate has much lower amplitudes. The slab track has usually the highest rail amplitudes due to soft rail pads. The train passage yields track displacements which are a superposition of the axle loads from the two neighbouring axles of a bogie and from the two bogies of two neighbouring carriages. This global behaviour is characteristic for the track plate of the slab track whereas the rails of the slab and the ballast track behave more local with only one bogie of influence. The measurements agree very well with the theory of the continuous soil in case of the six measured slab tracks and acceptably well for the six measured ballast tracks. The measurements allow to find appropriate model parameters and to check the models, for example the Winkler model of the soil has been found less appropriate as it reacts more locally.
