Dynamic Stress of Subgrade Bed Layers Subjected to Train Vehicles with Large Axle Loads by Fang Xu, Qi Yang, Wenjie Liu, Wuming Leng, Rusong Nie, Huihao Mei

“…The results showed the following: (1) the transverse distribution of the dynamic stress transformed from a bimodal pattern to a unimodal pattern with increasing depth; (2) the pass of adjacent bogies of adjacent carriages can be simplified once loaded on the subgrade since the dynamic stresses are maintained around the peak value during the pass of the adjacent bogies; (3) the dynamic stress at the bottom of the subgrade bed surface layer was more sensitive to the train axle load compared with that at the subgrade surface because the dynamic stresses induced by the two rails were gradually overlaid with increasing depth; (4) the maximum dynamic stress at the subgrade bed bottom was reduced by approximately 70% compared with that at the subgrade surface; (5) the vertical track irregularities intensified the vertical excitation between the train vehicle wheels and rails, and the maximum dynamic stress at the subgrade surface under the action of the irregular heavy-haul track spectrum increased by 23% compared with the smooth rail condition; and (6) the possible maximum dynamic stress (σdm) at the subgrade surface under the action of irregular track spectra can be predicted using the triple standard deviation principle of a normally distributed random variable, i.e., σdm = μ + 3σ (where μ and σ are the expectation and standard deviation of σdm, respectively).…”
