A novel efficient probabilistic prediction approach for train-induced ground vibrations based on transfer learning

Ruihua Liang et al.

Summary: In this study, a prediction method based on transfer learning is proposed to address the issues of high computational cost and prediction uncertainty in train-induced ground-borne vibration prediction. The method uses vehicle-track-coupled analytical model and three-dimensional finite element model to calculate train-induced ground vibration under various conditions as training samples for pre-training deep neural network models. The pre-trained models are then fine-tuned with measured vibration data using the transfer learning strategy. A Gaussian distribution is assumed for the predicted vibration acceleration levels to model the randomness of train-induced vibration. The fully trained model can complete the prediction in seconds. A case study demonstrates the feasibility and improvement of the proposed method by comparing the probabilistic prediction results with field measurements.

Multi-Hazard Effects of Crosswinds on Cascading Failures of Conventional and Interspersed Railway Tracks Exposed to Ballast Washaway and Moving Train Loads

Hao Fu et al.

Summary: The interspersed railway track is an improved timber railway track that enhances the bearing capacity of existing lines by replacing damaged wooden sleepers with new concrete sleepers. However, these interspersed tracks have lower stability compared to concrete tracks and are prone to deterioration in extreme weather conditions. This study investigates the collective effects of ballast washaway and uneven axle loads on the vulnerability of conventional and interspersed railway tracks, providing insights to develop proper operations against natural hazards.

Thermal response of the bridge supported longitudinal CRTS II slab track subject to diurnal temperature variation

Rui Zhou et al.

Summary: This study aims to systematically investigate the thermal responses of the bridge supported CRTS II slab track system by conducting experimental testing and theoretical modelling. The results show that the boundary conditions of the CRTS II slab track have a significant influence on its thermal responses, with higher thermal stress under fixed boundary conditions. Importantly, the vertical thermal gradient induced by the diurnal temperature variation could lead to damage of the interface between the track slab and the cement asphalt mortar.

Evaluation of slab track quality indices based on entropy weight-fuzzy analytic hierarchy process

Juan-juan Ren et al.

Summary: This paper aims to guide the maintenance and repair of ballastless track quality by determining a set of comprehensive evaluation indices. Crackling and interlayer debonding are the two typical types of damage that were focused on. The entropy weight method-fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (EWM-FAHP) was used to propose cracking interspace volume (CIV) and debonding interspace volume (DIV) as well as their weights for measuring the damage degree. A model containing cracking and debonding was established and the weights were modified based on the models' calculated results. The quality condition index (QCI) was determined to assess the quality state of the slab track comprehensively.

Nonlinear dynamic responses of ballasted railway tracks using concrete sleepers incorporated with reinforced fibres and pre-treated crumb rubber

Anand Raj et al.

Summary: Improving the impact resistance of railway sleepers can reduce damages caused by heavy impact loads. Pre-treated crumb rubber concrete sleepers with reinforced fibres have shown significant impact resistance. The optimal proportions of pre-treated crumb rubber, steel fibres, and polypropylene fibres can be determined through drop weight impact tests. A numerical model has been validated and used to study the behavior of ballasted tracks with steel and PF-reinforced/pre-treated RCSs.

Two-stage identification of interlayer contact loss for CRTS III prefabricated slab track based on multi-index fusion

Wei Du et al.

Summary: In this study, a finite element model was established to accurately identify the potential contact loss of the China railway track system (CRTS) III prefabricated slab track under transient impact. Damage-sensitive indices in the time and frequency domains were extracted from the vertical accelerations near impact points and fused using the Dempster-Shafer (D-S) evidence theory. A two-stage identification method was proposed, consisting of rough identification (Stage I) and precise identification (Stage II), to identify the damaged area. The research results showed that the proposed method improved the accuracy of damage detection and could achieve an identification accuracy of 70%-80% when the contact loss of self-compacting concrete (SCC) exceeded 50% along the thickness direction.

Adhesion performance tests and analysis of interface damage for CRTS III prefabricated slab tracks

Wei Du et al.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of interlayer cohesive parameters on the interface connection between track slab and self-compacting concrete (SCC) in China railway track system (CRTS) III prefabricated slab tracks. Experimental tests and finite element simulations were conducted to analyze the cracking behavior and interlayer damage under different loads. The results show that reducing interface stiffness and increasing critical fracture energy can delay interface damage and debonding. Moreover, increasing cohesive strength effectively inhibits the development of interface damage, and extreme temperature areas are crucial for interlayer debonding in slab track systems.

Thermal evolution of CRTS II slab track under various environmental temperatures: Experimental study

Rui Zhou et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the effect of environmental temperature on the thermal performance of CRTS II ballastless slab track and compares the results of two scaled models under different constraint conditions. The study finds that the internal temperatures, stresses, and displacements of the track structure increase nonlinearly with an increase in environmental temperature, and decrease linearly with a decrease in temperature. Fixed constraint conditions slow down the heat transfer from the track slab to the cement asphalt mortar.

Study on the effects of solar reflective coatings on the interfacial damage of the CRTS II slab track

Yang Li et al.

Summary: In this study, the effects of novel solar reflective coatings on the interfacial damage of CRTS II slab track were investigated. The study found that the non-linear temperature distribution of the track slabs can lead to underrated interfacial damage. Both types of solar reflective coatings were effective in reducing interfacial damage and slab vertical displacement, with the organic coating showing better performance. The interface bond strength of the coated tracks should be greater than 0.02 MPa to avoid debonding.

Study on the damage evolution of the joint and the arching deformation of CRTS-II ballastless slab track under complex temperature loading

Yichen Huang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the damage initiation and evolution of the wide and narrow joint in the longitudinal CRTS-II track using a refined finite element model. The analysis shows that tensile damage causes initial cracks inside the narrow joint, and the increase of compressive damage leads to the final failure of the narrow joint concrete. Additionally, joint damage impacts the upper-arch mechanism on the track slab, with a linear increase in arch height as joint damage degree rises.
