Study on Mechanical Properties and Field Monitoring of Ballastless CWR on the Bridge in High-Speed Railway
In the design of long-span bridge , it is necessary to lay the expansion regulator in order to reduce the beam-track interaction. Take the Zhengzhou-Xi’an high-speed railway as an example, the paper created a CWR mechanical model on the bridge using the finite element software ANSYS, proposed the deformation law of the structure and its stress characteristics. Based on the fiber grating testing technology, many monitoring points were laid on the Weihe bridge, to make a long-term monitoring. Processed the monitoring data about rail temperature and temperature force of the regulator, the CWR service conditions were assessed. The study shows that the scheme laying a set of regulator on the longest span Weihe bridge has greatly decreased the beam-rail interaction. All of its design parameters are reasonable. The operation safety indexes can completely meet the need of limits.
