The crossing area is a vulnerable component of the interchange high-speed railway tunnel because of the high-static stress level and the long-term dynamic train load in the operation period. Although attention has been paid to this problem, the response characteristics of high-speed railway tunnel lining at the cross position under the dynamic train load may still need further research as very little investigation is available on this issue at present. In this paper, the initial stress state and dynamic response characteristics of tunnel lining were studied using the three-dimensional finite element method. Furthermore, the damage evolutionary characteristics of the tunnel inverted arch under dynamic and initial static loads were researched using a set of self-developed indoor fatigue test devices. The size of the test box is 400 × 300 × 250 mm (length × width × height). Numerical simulation results indicate that the displacement and stress levels of tunnel lining are very high at the cross position. The stress increment of tunnel lining due to the dynamic train load is more likely to induce a break in the tunnel lining at this position. The indoor fatigue tests reveal that the change of structural strain increment amplitude and strain ratio is obvious when the dynamic load stress level is higher. It is better for dynamic stress levels not to exceed 0.6 times of structural tensile strength to avoid the tunnel lining being damaged in the long-time service period. The initial static load has an influence on the tunnel inverted arch, and the static stress level should be lower than 0.65 times of structural tensile strength to ensure the tunnel has long-time serviceability. This paper provides a reference for the future design of new cross tunnels and the operation safety evaluation and disease regulation of existing high-speed railway tunnels.

Research Stage

For the high-speed railway tunnel concrete lining, there have been some such initial damages as initial pores or cracks, therefore the initial damages will be expanded gradually under aerodynamic fatigue loads resulting from the high-speed train passing by tunnel, elastic module attenuation laws of concrete was adopted to reflect the effects of fatigue loads on the tunnel lining mesoscopic concrete, taking the second stage of the elastic module attenuation as the main research stage, the mesoscopic damage mechanism and fatigue damage cracks developing-and-changing laws of high-speed railway lining concrete were simulated under the repetitive aerodynamic loads. Study indicates: for the concrete lining with initial damages, under the repeated aerodynamic fatigue loads, the mechanical properties of the tunnel lining concrete will gradually deteriorate to the whole damage of the concrete structure, which will cause serious inference on the durability of the tunnel especially during the middle and later periods of the high-speed railway tunnel serving.

Equivalent Conicity

In order to find out the reason for the bogie frame instability alarm in the high-speed railway vehicle, the influence of wheel tread profile of the unstable vehicle was investigated. By means of wheel-rail contact analysis and dynamics simulation, the effect of tread wear on the bogie frame lateral stability was studied. The result indicates that the concave wear of tread is gradually aggravated with the increase of operation mileage; meanwhile the wheel-rail equivalent conicity also increases. For the rail which has not been grinded for a long time, the wear of gauge corner and wide-worn zone is relatively severe; the matching equivalent conicity is 0.31-0.4 between the worn rail and the concave-worn-tread wheel set. The equivalent conicity between the grinded rail and the concave-worn tread is below 0.25; the equivalent conicities are always below 0.1 between the reprofiled wheel set and various rails. The result of the line test indicates that the lateral acceleration of bogie frame corresponding to the worn wheel-rail can reach 8.5m/s2, and the acceleration after the grinding is reduced below 4.5m/s2. By dynamics simulation, it turns out that the unreasonable wheel-rail matching relationship is the major cause of the bogie frame lateral alarm. With the tread-concave wear being aggravated, the equivalent conicity of wheel-rail matching constantly increases, which leads to the bogie frame lateral instability and then the frame instability alarm.

Bridge Abutment

On the basis of different landform and multifarious topography in rugged mountainous area in southwest China, typical tunnel portals for single track tunnels in a new high speed railway line have been presented in the paper. The portal comprises headwall, shed tunnel, bridge abutment and its support. Portal with headwall is suitable for tunnel to resist front earth pressure on high and abrupt slope. Shed tunnel is placed in front of headwall so as to prevent rockfall; its outward part is built into a flared one. Meanwhile, the installation of bridge and its abutment are also included in the portal according to landform in the paper.
