The track on bridges is affected by cyclic and dynamic action arising from the train passage and the reaction of the track supporting structure. Concerning the track, the current bridge design procedures include two major engineering tasks: On the one hand the stability of the track supported on the bridge deck has to be satisfied. In order to reduce the deterioration of the track the elasticity of the track has to be adapted for the stiff bridge deck. Furthermore, lateral stability has also to be satisfied. The vibration of the bridge structure has to be taken into account because it can affect the stability of the ballasted track. On the other hand the transition zone between bridge structure, abutment and the track on the subgrade is a matter of permanent concern. The changes in stiffness, in the dynamic behavior arising from the rolling stock and the relative deflection between the bridge structure and the abutment induce a nearly unavoidable problem for the long term behaviour on the track.
BAM has conducted intensive experimental work to study the behaviour of the ballasted track on dynamically excited bridges. The state of the art is a design value for the deck acceleration of 0.35 g as established in the ENV 1991-1. In our experimental investigations the design value was verified. The influence of a frequency content higher than 30 Hz and of single vibration amplitudes on the track deterioration was evaluated. Both vertical and lateral stability were investigated. The influence of vibrations on the lateral stability can be more severe since the lateral stability could involve a sudden failure of the track. Furthermore, a simulation tool was developed to calculate the lateral stability on a vibrating bridge deck. For this simulation tool a parameter study was undertaken [1] where combinations of the curvature of the bridge-track system, the design temperature and the bridge deck vibrations were investigated. Parts of this study are incorporated in this paper.
In a current research project the investigations are extended to the interaction of the train-track-dynamics and the long term behaviour of the transition zone. The main emphasis is on the integration of the possible deterioration of the structural components in the numerical modelling of the relevant structural elements of the vehicle, the bridge and bridge abutment structure. An outlook is given to a complete model for the assessment of the track behaviour at railway bridges.
In diesem Beitrag wird ein grundsätzliches Untersuchungskonzept für den Schienengebundenen Verkehr in Bezug auf das langzeitliche Verhalten am Brückenübergang vorgestellt. Das damit verbundene Ziel ist die Entwicklung eines numerischen Modells zu entwickeln, dass sowohl das Langzeitverhalten wie auch das kurzzeitdynamische Verhalten beschreibt, um konstruktive Lösungen zu entwickeln und zu optimieren. In einer ersten Phase wird der Brückenübergang mittels der FEM mit zwei unterschiedlichen Randmodellierungen für das FE-Gebiet modelliert. Die Ergebnisse der Modellierung mit einer Visko-Elastischen Randmodellierung und einer Randmodellierung mittels der Scaled-Boundary-Finite-Element Methode, werden miteinander verglichen. Unterschiede in der Wirkung auf kurzzeitdynamische Kenngrößen werden gezeigt, die heranzuziehen sind, um insbesondere Setzungen im Hinterfüllungsbereich des Brückenwiderlagers abzuschätzen.
This paper deals with the assessment of track deterioration using a train-track interaction model. While modelling a train-track system a balance has to be found between the complexity and effort of the model on the one side and the needs for the assessment. The choice of assessment criteria are decisive for the given task. For an optimization of the track and its components simple assessment criteria are needed to allow for a variation of parameters. The paper describes the generalized process for track assessment and optimization and gives examples for specific members.
This paper presents a three dimensional numerical model which is can be used to
investigate the effects on the track and in its vicinity due to a train passage. The numerical
model for train track interaction is based on a time domain dynamic finite
element model. Due to the unbounded nature of the soil the truncated boundary of the
finite element domain is modelled with the scaled boundary finite element method,
which is a semi-analytical approach. The application for a heterogeneous track along
the track line is exemplified by a track with a bridge structure, where close attention
is paid to the wheel-rail contact force. The results indicate that the wheel-rail contact
force is not symmetrical around the bridge structure and an optimisation in terms of a
backfilling area and under-sleeper-pads can improve such a transition.

In diesem Artikel wird ein 3D FE-Modell für den Brückenübergangsbereich vorgestellt, das eine Bewertung hinsichtlich des Langzeitverhaltens ermöglicht und an dem Optimierungsmaßnahmen diskutiert werden können. Bestandteile des numerischen Modells sind das Fahrzeug-Fahrwegmodell mit Brückenstruktur und eine Randformulierung mit der SBFEM. Die hier diskutierten Optimierungsmaßnahmen fokussieren sich auf eine reine Anpassung der Fahrwegsteifigkeit durch elastische Elemente auf der Brückenstruktur.
