장대레일 재설정 방법 개선 연구

Due to the transportability problems, long rail shall befrom base rail unit, which is normally 100m for regular rail and 300m for high speed rail. After these rail units aretransported from the fabricator to the site, the field weld would be performed.axial stresses in the long rail is mainly from the temperature differences at various locationsthe long rail. Also thegaps between each welds cause secondary axial stresses in therail.In addition to these, re-weldsthe fractured rails, rail buckling, irregular rail vibration, rail twist also result innonuniform axial stresses in therail. To obtain the rail buckling stability, therail stresses shall be released due to the resetting of CWR. Traditionally two resetting of CWR methods have been applied, the one is rail heater and the other is rail tenser. these methods, the latter has been recommended because it has less limitation in the rail length and it is easier to minimized the force differences. But even in this method, the calculation is cumbersome andis not easy to find out the rail stress distribution itself.refined methodsxial stress resetting in the long rail is studied and this study be easily applied in the real construction. From this approach, more rational rail maintenance system can be expected.
