ZHANG Guo-xiang, ZHANG Hong-bin, AN Guan-feng
Research purposes:At present, the analysis methods about seismic passive earth pressure and its distribution have several defects, including unreasonable distribution rule and position, complex derivation, harsh application conditions and so on. The seismic passive earth pressure problem is translated into non-seismic passive earth pressure problem in this paper by using the transform method with rotating calculation model of retaining wall. This method has large reference value to simplify the calculation process of seismic passive earth pressure and its distribution.Research conclusions:Based on the non-seismic passive earth pressure formulations with horizontal slices analysis method, the analytical formulas of seismic passive earth pressure intensity distribution, resultant force of earth pressure and its point position are obtained directly, and the explicit solution of critical rupture angle is got by graphic method. The influencing factors including horizontal and vertical seismic accelerations,different angle of wall back,cohesion and external friction angle between filler and back of retaining wall,equispaced overloading are considered. The formulas can be used for seismic passive earth pressure calculations of cohesive soil with common border condition. The deducing process of seismic passive earth pressure formulations is simplified and unified greatly by using the method in this paper. The seismic passive earth pressure theory is perfected much more. The research results can be applied to do fast computation about seismic passive earth pressure of retaining wall.

LI Jian-guo,WANG Xun, SUN Li-xun
Research purposes:In order to ensure the safety of railway or highway subgrade, subgrade bearing capacity, embankment stability and settlement which are the three main control indexes of subgrade design should be analyzed and checked in theory. However, many railway and highway designers still have differences on whether subgrade bearing capacity should be calculated in our country.

(2) The lateral displacement of subgrade will increase sharply when the load approaches or exceeds subgrade ultimate load, and the existing settlement calculation methods are no longer applicable. The application condition of settlement calculation methods is that the requirement of subgrade bearing capacity is met. (3) In order to ensure the stability of the embankment and control the settlement of it, the subgrade bearing capacity should be checked in the design of subgrade. (4) In this paper, the research conclusion can provide a theoretical basis for the further improvement of subgrade design method.

46 Effect of Track Stiffness on Frequency Response of Vehicle-track Coupling System
WANG Ping, XU Jin-hui, WANG Li, CHEN Rong
Research purposes:Track stiffness is an important parameter for the design and maintenance of railway track. However, the frequency-domain influence of track stiffness on the vehicle-track coupling system is still not clear. Based on the theories of vehicle-track coupling system dynamics, taking the existing speed-increase line as an example, this paper explores the frequency-domain influence of track stiffness on the vehicle-track coupling system.Research conclusions:The influence of track stiffness on the vehicle and bogie is little and it influences the wheel set and the track structure a lot. With the increase of track stiffness, the vibration response of vehicle-track coupling system goes stronger obviously in the medium-high frequency band of 100 Hz above, but the vibration response in the low and medium frequency band of 27~70 Hz gets a little weaker and it shows nearly no influence on the vibration response in the low frequency band of 27 Hz below. As the stiffness of fastener system increases, the maximum values of wheel-rail force spectrum, the wheel set acceleration spectrum and the rail vibration acceleration spectrum all increase considerably and the vibration frequency shows a tendency to occur a frequency shift towards high frequency band. The similar rule can be found in the research of the stiffness of ballast bed. Overall, in the frequency domain, the stiffness of fastener influences the vibration response of vehicle-track system greatly while the stiffness of ballast bed affects the vibration response of vehicle-track system relatively weaker, so deteriorative fasteners should be replaced in time while the maintenance cycle of ballast bed can be extended appropriately. The research can provide a good guidance for the optimization design of track structure and the track maintenance.

53 Influence of Fastener Stiffness Mutation in Ballastless Track on Dynamic Characteristics of High-speed Trains
LIU Xue-yi, ZHANG Zhong-wang, WAN Zhang-bo
Research purposes:The elasticity for the ballastless track structure is mainly provided by the fastening system. During the construction and maintenance of ballastless track on high-speed railway, the incorrect installation and the unreasonable transition between the old and new rail-pads may occur to the fasteners, which will cause a stiffness mutation for the fasteners. Even though this problem can hardly be found under the static condition, it can have a great effect on the stability and safety for the high-speed vehicle operation. Here different conditions for the fastener stiffness mutation are considered, according to the actually measured data. And the influence of fastener stiffness mutation on the dynamic performance of high-speed vehicle and track is calculated and analyzed by using the vertically coupled vehicle-ballastless track-subgrade vibration spatial model and the finite element software ANSYS/LS-DYNA.Research conclusions:The calculation and analysis results show that: (1)When there is a local mutation for the stiffness of fasteners, the maximum and minimum of vehicle acceleration basically keep the same. That is to say, the fastener stiffness mutation has few influence on the stability of vehicle operation. (2) The fastener stiffness mutation has much obvious effect on the wheel load reduction rate, which is related to the safety of vehicle operation. Further, when the train speed is larger than 300 km/h, the fastener stiffness mutation will directly cause the wheel load reduction rate to exceed the standard. (3) This research results can be used to provide a theoretical basis for monitoring the fastener stiffness in construction or repairing and establishing the strict control standards in high-speed railway.

Curves of collision force-period at different working conditions are summarized. On this basis, when the impact load affects as input loads, the displacement and acceleration response can be used by finite element analysis under the collision and study the dynamic response of the bridge caused by a train derailment risk.Research conclusions:(1) The impact force of the bridge is largest when a laden ship is hitting the pier at the highest navigable water level. In the most unfavorable condition, the collision have lardge impact on bridge structure and derailment risk of trains. (2) The transverse acceleration of the girder on the top of 2# pier can reach to 0.922 m/s2, but it does not exceed acceleration excitation limit (1 m/s2) when 3# piers are hitted by the 10 000 t ship at the peak load of collision, so the probability of train derailment is minimal. (3) Based on the probability formula of the derailment by simplifying risk criteria, the derailment probability of train is 9×10-5~1.5×10-4 during the ship-bridge collision. (4) The research results can provide the reference for train traffic safety on railway bridge caused by ship collisions.

88 Warning Standards Study of Real-time Monitoring for Anti-collapse in Large Cross-sefction Tunnel of Soft and Weak Surrounding Rock
MA Shi-wei, HAN Xue-quan, LIAO Kai, DU Jun
Research purposes:The statistics for tunnel disasters showed that the quantities and casualties of tunnel collapse are much higher than other tunnel disasters. Achieved warning before collapse in tunnel construction, can greatly reduce the tunnel collapse hazards. The key to achieve anti-collapse warning in soft and weak surrounding rock tunnel is to obtain anti-collapse warning standards. Therefore, it is necessary to study tunnel anti-collapse warning standards to guide safe tunnel construction.Research conclusions:(1) Deformation of the tunnel is relevant to hydrogeological conditions, construction method, construction progress and other factors. Currently, the standard values in criterion were not suitable for tunnel collapse warning. (2) It is practicable to achieve anti-collapse monitoring by relative deformation, because anti-collapse real-time monitoring focused on dome relative deformation differently from routine monitoring in soft and weak surrounding rock tunnel. (3) The reference value of tunnel anti-collapse real-time monitoring is determined by displacement limit value in criterion, the maximum value of the measured displacement in similar project and the measured data in tunnel project. (4) The field experiment indicated that the reference value could meet tunnel anti-collapse warning. Therefore, the research results can be applied to large cross-section tunnel of soft and weak surrounding rock.

93 Regularity Analysis on Transient Over-voltage of Grounding Gridby Lighting Strokes in Substations
LI Han-qing, FAN Chun-lei
Research purposes:Lightning has been one of the important factors endangering safe and reliable operation of the railway. The grounding grid performance plays a particularly important role in lightning protection. In this paper, the author has established a grounding grid transient model by the electromagnetic transient analysis software and intended for quantitative analysis of typically grounding grid layout in engineering practice, to lay important theoretical basis for future lightning protection and grounding.Research conclusions:(1)The results show that the ground potential is significantly affected by the soil resistivity, lightning current amplitude and the mesh size. With increase of the soil resistivity and lightning current amplitude, the ground potential at the point of the lightning current injection will significantly improve, but due to the spark discharge of the soil. The ground potential does not increase exponentially with potential lightning current amplitude. The smaller the mesh size, the better the ground potential attenuation. For example of the lightning current 20 kA and the soil resistivity 100 Ω·m, the ground potential of the 5 m×5 m mesh decreases 22.3% compared with the 10 m×10 m mesh.(2)The study finds that the ground potential attenuation away from the lightning strike point at 15m basically reaches the maximum, which is about 89%. And the degree of attenuation is independent of lightning current amplitude. (3)The results are mainly used for optimization program and design fields on substation lightning protection and grounding.

102 Research on the Thrust Output of a Long Primary Double-sided Linear Induction Motor
ZHANG Kun-lun,LIU Xi-jun, ZHANG Wen-long
Research purposes:Based on Maxwell equations and T-type equivalent circuit of linear induction motor, we analyze the electromagnetic thrust output of a double-sided linear induction motor in the case of edge effect, and use the finite element method and simulation to test the effectiveness of the theoretical calculation. We further derivate the mathematical expressions of a double-sided linear induction motor, build the simulation model by parameter design, and experimentally analyze the slip frequency control thrust output in conditions of different operating. Through analysis of the output characteristics of the electromagnetic force, optimal control of constant current slip frequency is achieved.Research conclusions:(1) We calculate various mechanical properties of a bilateral linear induction motor through its mathematical model and equivalent circuit, and derive the corrected coefficients of the horizontal and vertical edge effect. When the motor runs at a high speed, the edge effect has little influence on the output of the electromagnetic force. (2) We use the finite element computer software to establish the simulation model of a bilateral linear induction motor, and compare the theoretical calculation and simulation data: the simulation results are consistent with theoretical calculation, thus ensuring the validity of the mathematical model. (3) We simulate and analyze the influence of slip frequency, speed, suspension air gap, and length of the mover on electromagnetic force. At different speeds, properly adjusting the slip frequency can increase the output of electromagnetic force. For low speed, the optimal slip frequency is near 2 Hz; for high speed, the optimal slip frequency is between 4.0 Hz and 6.0 Hz. When satisfying the motor′s rated condition, the optimal control of electromagnetic force is achieved. (4) The research result of double-sided linear induction motor can provide important implications for the electromagnetic launch system of an aircraft carrier.

LIU Ji-qiang,LI Yuan-hai,LIN Zhi-bin,GUI Chang-lin
Research purposes:The existing researches about excavating procedures of deep foundation pit on nearby metro tunnel in soft formation are lack of systematicness, and creep characteristics of soft clay are not usually taken into consideration. This paper takes Qianhaiwan station of Metro Line 11 in Shengzhen as engineering background and considers creep characteristics in sludge formation. The influence of step excavation in the transversal,longitudinal and vertical directions on the deformation of foundation pit and nearby subway tunnel are simulated, which may be expected to provide theoretical basis for choosing foundation pit excavation procedure of Qianhaiwan station.Research conclusions:(1) The segment far away from tunnel should be excavated firstly when only transversal step excavation was undertaken along the horizontal direction of foundation pit. (2)The maximum horizontal displacement of the piles show exponential relations with the number of segments when step excavation of foundation pit was undertaken in vertical and transversal or longitudinal. If thickness of every step excavation was limited in 1.5~2 m, the horizontal displacement of the pile near tunnel can be reduced about 9 percent when there is no horizontal step excavation. (3) Transversal step excavation with segments far from tunnel excavated firstly was found to be the best step excavation method under the same condition of step number and support, and longitudinal and transversal step excavation followed while longitudinal step excavation was the last. (4) The research results have guiding significance for foundation pit of Qianhaiwan station and similar projects.

LI Li-peng, SHENG Jia-chuan
Research purposes:Widely used in urban rail transit, the VVVF multiple unit trains will generate a mass of energy when they are braking. If this part of energy can be used effectively, it will be of great significance for the energy-saving and cost-reducing of the whole rail transit. At present, there are several kinds of regenerative energy utilization proposals. But difference of saving effect of different schemes is very large, and part of proposal may lead to a waste of energy. Therefore, it is necessary to combine theoretical calculation with practical measurement and make comprehensive analysis on the energy saving effect of current regenerative energy utilization proposals.Research conclusions:This paper constructs the model of rail transit traction power supply system and studies the calculation result and measurement result. The experiments show that: (1)The regenerative energy utilization rate is very high between the vehicles when no regenerative energy absorption devices are installed in traction substations. (2)Traditional proposal of putting regenerative braking resistor in traction substation may not save energy, on the contrary, it will waste energy. (3)When the capacity of electricity utilization device reaches a certain value, the additional capacity will make very little effects on energy saving effect. (4) The research results can be used in the design of rail transit traction power supply system.
