Dynamic Analysis of Bridge-Approach Embankment Transition Segment

Dynamic responses of coupled system were analyzed when the speed of train was 350km/h and the transition was filled with graded broken stones mixed 5% cement. Results indicate that setting form of bridge-approach embankment section has little effect on dynamic responses, thus designers can choose it on account of practical circumstances. Based on the study from vehicle-track dynamics, we suggest that the coefficient of subgrade reaction (K30) should be greater than 190MPa within 0-5m zone behind abutment and be greater than 150MPa in other zones.
