Influences of Subgrade Structure Form on Dynamic Responses of Railway Subgrade under Cyclic Loading

Abstract:

This paper presents conducted field tests of cyclic loading for railway subgrade. These tests studied the influences of subgrade structure forms of embankment and cutting on the dynamic responses of railway subgrade. The considered dynamic responses included the distribution of dynamic stress in railway subgrade, and the elastic deformation, dynamic stiffness, and cumulative plastic deformation on subgrade surface. The number of cyclic loading in testing was separately about two millions for an embankment and a cutting. The dynamic deviator stress applied on subgrade surface was 92kPa to simulate the maximum stress induced by moving train for the designed railway. Gathered data showed that the dynamic stiffness on subgrade surface for a cutting was approximately a half of the one for an embankment. However, the cumulative plastic deformation was essentially the same for the two forms of subgrade (i.e. the embankment and the cutting). These results provide references for the design of railway subgrade.
