1 Behaviour of ballasted track during high speed train passage William Powrie and Jeffrey Priest University of Southampton
2 Outline of talk Background and Aims Sub-base issues: effect of train speed on vertical track movements during train passage - numerical analysis - field monitoring Ballast issues - ballast migration - flying ballast Conclusions
3 Background and Aims
4 Background Increased train speeds on both new and classic railway lines Lack of detailed analytical understanding of track system / sub-soil behaviour, even for traditional speed railways Not sure how well past experience and observation (empiricism) will extrapolate to higher speed lines Application of recent advances in soil mechanics and instrumentation improved understanding of ballast and sub-base performance better whole life cost modelling Is ballasted track the best choice for high speed rail?
5 Aims To assess the effects of train speed on the load/deformation response of the track foundation, by analysis and field measurements To investigate some additional problems associated with the use of ballasted track for high speed railway lines
6 Numerical modelling of track-bed displacements Effect of train speed
7 Method Dynamic, 2D finite element analysis using ABAQUS Elastic, undrained response Interpretation in terms of total stresses Loading magnitude and geometry based on Spoornet COALlink line ( Cape gauge, 1067 mm) 130 kn maximum wheel load Analysis modelled the vertical centre plane along the track, and passage of a three-wagon train Model validated with reference to field data
8 2D dynamic FE mesh Pad (0.01m thick) Rail Sleeper 0.2 Ballast 0.3 V1 V2 V3 V4 SSB SB E1 A B E Natural ground E
9 Typical results: deflections
10 Variation of maximum displacement with speed
11 Field monitoring: methods
12 Measurement techniques: remote video monitoring Webcam captures digital video images of a target, from which displacement is calculated using computer algorithm. Digital camera frame rate up to 170fps
13 Measurement techniques: geophones Geophones: LF24, 1 Hz natural frequency, logged at 500Hz Mounted on sleeper or positioned in borehole at different depths in the ground
14 Geophone data a b c d Geophone produces a voltage proportional to velocity of the sensor (a). Knowing the response characteristics of the geophone the velocity can be computed (b). Integration of data leads to calculated displacement (c). Dominant axle and bogie frequencies can be obtained (d).
15 Comparison: PIV and geophone data Geophone Video Geophones and PIV data are in agreement. Displacement (mm) Time (s) Video frame rate of 30fps gives an image every 880mm of travel compared with 53mm for 500 Hz geophones. Both methods capture displacements due to individual axles.
16 Field monitoring: results What happens in reality?
17 Effect of train speed: HS1 Standard gauge (1435 mm) Same trains (Class 390 Eurostar sets) Static axle load tonne (wheel load ~ 75.3 kn) Speeds ~ 120 km/hr and 270 km/hr
18 Vertical displacement vs speed for similar trains on HS1
19 Calculate subgrade modulus from Beam on Elastic Foundation (BOEF) model
20 Track modulus from sleeper displacements assuming a constant (static) axle load
21 Track modulus vs displacement for all sleepers; track modulus assumed constant for an individual sleeper
22 Trend lines for different speeds at constant modulus
23 Increase in dynamic load with speed Dynamic FE analysis suggest that at o.5v c (train speed = 400km/h) dynamic load increases by less than 10% of static, so at 260km/h dynamic load static load Field monitoring suggests dynamic load at 260km/h is around static At 260km/h, Li and Selig (1998) suggest dynamic load increases to around 2.45 static
24 Ballast issues (1) Ballast migration (ballast circles)
25 Ballast migration
26 Ballast migration investigation: instrument layout Vertical, lateral and longitudinal sleeper velocities measured using geophones
27 Measured sleeper displacements Vertical displacement of high rail end of sleeper is about 2.2 times that of low rail end
28 h Y e Q e α mv 2 /R mgsinα s mg Y i h c For a Pendolino traversing a curve of radius 1230m radius at 180km/h, quasi static analysis gives Q e = 85.0 kn and Q i = 49.2 kn, i.e. a ratio of loads of 1.73 Q i
29 Train Run Inner rail δ mm Outer rail δ mm Ratio δ inner /δ outer Ratio k outer /k inner Ratio of deflections is greater than the ratio of quasistatic loads implying difference in support stiffnesses
30 Dynamic analysis using Vampire gives a maximum value of Q e of >100kN and a load ratio of up to at least ~2.5
31 Proposed mechanism Idealised movement of sleeper During loading sleeper rotates about the low rail end and moves towards the high rail end. Due to shape of sleeper ballast falls vertically during loading and is pushed up (down slope) during unloading.
32 WCML: vertical movements due to loco + coaches vs Pendolino trainset Class 87 locomotive produces displacements comparable with the Class 390 Pendolino train; displacements for Mk3 coaches are considerably less.
33 Ballast issues (2) Ballast flight (flying ballast)
34 Flying ballast Geotechnical and aerodynamic investigation in collaboration with University of Birmingham (aerodynamics: Professor Chris Baker, Dr Andrew Quinn) and Network Rail HS1 (David Hutchinson, Mick Hayward)
35 Background During passage of a high speed train, ballast particles become detached from the ballast bed ( flying ballast ) Cause rail defects which require grinding to repair Causes damage to undercarriages and exposed equipment unless protection is provided At present the cause is not understood Is it mechanical, aerodynamic or a combination?
36
37 Measurements Geophones to measure velocities of sleepers during train passage Accelerometers to measure accelerations of the ballast High speed camera to observe air turbulence near sleeper (Professor Chris Baker, University of Birmingham)
38 Instrumentation layout Aerodynamic equipment installed in between sleeper Accelerometer position in ballast
39 Instrumentation view
40 Sleeper velocity vertical At the site monitored, sleeper vertical velocity was typically around 20mm/s
41 Sleeper displacements - vertical
42 Accelerations Filtered accelerations from ballast are similar in magnitude to accelerations of sleeper obtained by differentiating sleeper velocity
43 Air turbulence: visual observation
44 Does the track see this turbulence? Slight increase in voltage is observed just before train arrives (4.2 m ahead of first wheel). Is this caused by the turbulence?
45 Ballast flight: findings Sleeper velocity was reasonably consistent for all train passages and sleepers ~ 20 mm/s Maximum ballast accelerations were ~ 3 m/s Geotechnical effects (ground accelerations) alone are insufficient to cause ballast flight: the cause is probably a combination of aerodynamic and ballast acceleration effects Video recording showed pulse of air, which is quite turbulent, travelling in front of train, which may give rise to downward force into ballast
46 Conclusions
47 Conclusions Stresses and deflections increase with train speed - perhaps more than analysis of perfect track would suggest, but less than current empirical rules allow Differential forces on rails when curving at high cant deficiency together with sleeper geometry and trainset operation ( 10 the number of high load events per train pass) can cause ballast migration Combined aerodynamic and ground vibrational effects can lead to ballast flight
