Abstract

An experimental study and theoretical analysis were carried out to explore the ground-borne vibration generated by elevated high-speed railway in rock strata. Taking a typical rail line constructed on rock area in China as the research object, a set of field tests was performed on Rizhao-Lankao High-Speed Railway, the bridge and ground vibrations were measured as trains passed at 330–340 km/h, then the transferring law and spatial distribution under individual frequencies were investigated. The experiment results indicate that the bridge frequency spectrum exhibited relatively high-frequency vibration peaks caused by short-wavelength irregularity; ground vibration farther than 30 m away can be amplified with a higher frequency and numerous components. Furthermore, the wave propagation equation of a stratified rock strata was established based on direct-stiffness method to explore the vibration attenuation rules via frequency-domain analysis. It is found that the rock area has a weaker correlation between vibration transmissibility and frequency, thicker and harder rock strata loss their vibration attenuation capacity. It can be concluded that the high-speed railways induced vibration on rock strata shows a wide frequency band and large amplitude, the design of reducing vibration aimed at specific frequency is important according to next more detailed numerical study.

摘要

本文以典型基岩浅埋地层的日兰高铁为研究对象,在线路联调联试阶段对某32 m 简支梁桥区段展开现场测试。 采用时频方法对桥梁和地面振动响应进行分析,研究了弹性波在特殊地质条件下的传递规律与衰减特性。 结果表明:距离桥墩较远的30 m 范围之外的地面振动幅值出现放大现象; 岩石介质高速铁路环境振动具有宽频段、大幅值两大特征; 土-岩二元结构地层与岩石一元结构地层的系统传递特性差异较大,岩层越厚、等级越坚硬的岩石介质呈现振动传递率与频率的弱相关性,振动衰减能力下降。
