일반철도와 고속철도의 강화노반두께에 관한 연구

The reinforcing subgrade, which first introduced Korea for the highspeed subgrade construction, has the many advantages to maintain the quality of ballast track as well as to prevent the softening of subgrade by mud-pumping. It causes the subgrade soil to spout into the ballast on many lines. Therefore, the application of reinforcing subgrade will be expected to increase in the future. This paper introduces the reinforcing subgrade as a aintenance-free technology for the railroad operation and the method for the determination of reinforcing subgrade depth. The criteria on reinforcing subgrade depths of highspeed and conventional railroad were verified from the calculation results based on an elastic analysis method.
