Quantitative Evaluation for Reinforcement Effect of Auxiliary Steel Beams Based on Running Safety and Dynamic Response

Abstract

Aiming at the existing heavy-haul railway, bridges hardly meet the transportation requirements. Based on the spatial vibration calculation model of the freight train–track–bridge (FTTB) system, the FTTB spatial vibration model under the condition of auxiliary steel beam reinforcement is established. Besides, according to the random analysis method of train derailment energy, coming up with an evaluation method of auxiliary steel beam reinforcement is based on safety and dynamic response, which is used to discuss the train safety and the change law of FTTB system vibration response. The results show that the derailment resistance of the FTTB system is increased by 22.6% after the auxiliary steel beam is reinforced. Compared with the previous speed (115.56 km/h), the speed is 132.73 km/h after the auxiliary steel beam reinforcement; at the same time, the allowable limit speed increases from 92.49 km/h to 106.18 km/h. In addition, the reinforcement of the auxiliary steel beam can not only effectively reduce the lateral vibration response of the FTTB system under the action of empty wagon but also effectively decline the vertical vibration response of the FTTB system under the action of the loaded wagon, which can meet the stability requirement for running at the speed of 90 km/h. In summary, the reinforcement of auxiliary steel beams can improve the running safety of trains, reduce the vibration response of the FTTB system, and meet the requirements of operation stability.
