The disclosure relates to a track slab which can be widely applied to high speed railways, dedicated passenger lines, ordinary railways, and urban and intercity transportation, e.g. a pre-stressed concrete track slab of slab-type ballast-less track and a pre-tensioning pre-stressed concrete track slab of slab-type ballast-less track.
The total mileage of railways in operation in China will reach 100 thousand kilometers by 2020, and “four vertical lines and four horizontal lines” of express dedicated passenger lines as well as three express intercity rail transportation systems will be constructed to achieve separation of passenger transportation and freight transportation practiced on busy main lines. Safe and comfortable running of dedicated passenger lines requires higher track regularity and stability, and brings profound technical renovation to track facilities in China.
At present, ballast tracks are generally applied to railways in China. The ballast beds of ballasted tracks gradually become loose due to being repeatedly passed by trains, thus resulting in poor irregularity and a great deal of maintenance work. In addition, the development of increasing the speed of railway is hindered by the workload and time required by maintenance.
France, which is a country with high-speed railways with ballasted tracks as the representative, has always been proud of the ballasted tracks operating at 270 km/h to 300 km/h. However, it's found later that railway ballast of the southeast line and Atlantic line early established is pulverized seriously. The geometric dimensions of the tracks are hardly maintained. Maintenance periods are shortened, maintenance costs are largely increased, and even normal operation is affected. Complete overhaul has to be performed and the railway ballast has to be replaced until it is even operated for less than a decade.
Ballast-less track technology has been developed maturely in the countries mainly comprising Germany and Japan. The slab-type tracks in Japan have relatively unified constructions which however have structures and dimensions slightly different for different line grades, different natural conditions, different basic conditions, and different train speeds and operating conditions. The slab-type tracks are classified into certain types which currently include a common A type, a frame type and a practical vibration reduction G type applied in special vibration reduction sections etc.
Ballast-less tracks have been researched in China since the 1960s which was as early as abroad. Supporting block-type integrated ballast beds, short wooden sleeper-type integrated ballast beds, and integrally cast integrated ballast beds etc., frame type asphalt ballast beds and the beds of many other types were applied in trial laying at the preliminary stage. Supporting block-type ballast-less tracks which are about 300 km long used to be laid in tunnels of the Chengdu-Kunming Line, the Beijing-Yuanping Line, the Beijing-Tongliao Line and the Southern Xinjiang Line. Afterwards, asphalt concrete ballast-less tracks consisting of asphalt concrete pavement layers and wide sleepers were applied in trial laying only in large-scale passenger railway stations and tunnels. Ballast-less structures without sleepers also used to be laid on the Jiujiang Yangtze River Bridge of the Beijing-Kowloon Line. Currently, high-speed railways, dedicated passenger lines, as well as urban and intercity transportation in China are constructed step by step. Since trains are operating at higher speed with less maintenance time, adequate consideration should be taken to achieve comfortable, stable, and durable ballast-less tracks with less maintenance.
Ballast-less track systems are applied to most high-speed railways all over the world, and there are two major types of ballast-less tracks, i.e. slab-type ballast-less tracks and double-block type ballast-less tracks. Compared with ballast-less tracks of the double-block type, slab-type ballast-less tracks with post-tensioned track slabs in Japan and Bögl slabs in Germany as the representative are evidently advantageous.
High speed railway ballast-less tracks have been developed rapidly since post-tensioned track slabs were applied to the Qinhuangdao-Shenyang Line and the Suining-Chongqing Line on trial and then Bögl slabs were applied to the Beijing-Tianjing intercity high-speed railway. It's proven by engineering practice that these two kinds of track slabs have evident disadvantages and need to be improved.
The disclosure aims to provide a track slab having light structural dead weight, small structure height, and low manufacturing cost and having deformation resistance, which is applicable to a railway track circuit, e.g. a pre-stressed concrete track slab of slab-type ballast-less track and a pre-tensioning pre-stressed concrete track slab of slab-type ballast-less track.
In order to achieve the purposes above, according to an aspect of the disclosure, a pre-stressed concrete track slab of slab-type ballast-less track is provided, including: a slab body, on which embedded casings for the fastenings are arranged. At least one row of longitudinal common steel bars and at least one row of transverse common steel bars are arranged in the slab body along a length direction and a width direction. The longitudinal common steel bars are insulated from the transverse common steel bars. At least one row of longitudinal pre-stressed steel bars and at least one row of transverse pre-stressed steel bars are fastened in the slab body along the length direction and the width direction through anchor backing plates and fastener devices. In the pre-stress directions of the longitudinal pre-stressed steel bars and the transverse pre-stressed steel bars, it is post-tensioned in both directions, or it is pre-tensioned in one direction and post-tensioned in the other direction. And further limiting structures and grounding terminals are arranged on the slab body.
According to another aspect of the disclosure, a pre-tensioning pre-stressed concrete track slab of slab-type ballast-less track is provided, including: a slab body, on which embedded casings for the fastenings are arranged. At least one row of longitudinal common steel bars and at least one row of transverse common steel bars are arranged in the slab body along a length direction and a width direction. The longitudinal common steel bars are insulated from the transverse common steel bars. At least one row of longitudinal pre-stressed steel bars and at least one row of transverse pre-stressed steel bars are further provided in the slab body along the length direction and the width direction. In the pre-stress directions of the longitudinal pre-stressed steel bars and the transverse pre-stressed steel bars, it is pre-tensioned in both directions. And further limiting structures and grounding terminals are arranged on the slab body.
According to another aspect of the disclosure, a track slab is provided, including: a slab body. At least one row of longitudinal steel bars and at least one row of transverse steel bars are arranged in the slab body along a length direction and a width direction. The longitudinal steel bars are insulated from the transverse steel bars. At least one row of longitudinal pre-stressed steel bars and at least one row of transverse pre-stressed steel bars are further provided in the slab body along the length direction and the width direction. And further limiting structures and grounding terminals are arranged on the slab body.
Because of the application adopting the technical scheme above, the disclosure has the following characteristics:
1. The pre-stressed concrete track slab of slab-type ballast-less track and the pre-tensioning pre-stressed concrete track slab of slab-type ballast-less track of the disclosure are convenient to adhere elastic pads to bottom of the slab so as to achieve vibration reduction for bottom foundations; a transition section between a ballasted track and a ballast-less track is convenient to lay an auxiliary rail on a concrete track slab to increase the vertical bending rigidity of a track sleeper; the concrete track slab, which is light in dead weight and small in structure height may be pre-stressed (pre-stress directions are set such that the concrete track slab is post-tensioned in both directions or pre-tensioned in one direction and post-tensioned in the other direction, or pre-tensioned in both directions) to ensure that the concrete does not crack under the design load; and requirements on safety and riding comfort of high-speed heavy haul trains can be satisfied. At the same time, for the technical scheme of pre-tensioning in both directions by means of pre-stressing, the problem of relatively high construction cost of an anchor of a post-tensioned track slab etc. can be solved through applying a pre-tensioning pre-stress in both directions;
2. Longitudinal common steel bars and transverse common steel bars are arranged in the pre-stressed concrete track slab of slab-type ballast-less track and the pre-tensioning pre-stressed concrete track slab of slab-type ballast-less track of the disclosure. Measures including resin steel or insulating coatings or insulating fasteners etc. can be applied to satisfy technical requirements of track circuit insulation, thus solving the conflict between the slab-type ballast-less track and a railway signal system and satisfying technical requirements of track circuits. In addition, compared with other structures, the manufacturing process is simple and convenient, and the quality can be ensured easily during a process of applying an insulation method. The longitudinal common steel bars and the transverse common steel bars can be bound into reinforced nets that are convenient to be molded integrally, which can increase the locating accuracy of the steel bars and save production time;
3. The pre-stressed concrete track slab of slab-type ballast-less track and the pre-tensioning pre-stressed concrete track slab of slab-type ballast-less track of the disclosure which have light dead weight, small structure height and low manufacturing cost, can be conveniently transported and paved. Buckling of track slabs can be hardly affected by daily temperature differences and the amount of material applied in filling layers is reduced;
4. The pre-stressed concrete track slab of slab-type ballast-less track and the pre-tensioning pre-stressed concrete track slab of slab-type ballast-less track of the disclosure can be provided with support rail beds on surfaces of the track slab to adjust drainage of snow and rainwater in cold regions, reduce damage of fastenings in windy and sandy areas as well as salty soil areas, and facilitate maintenance etc.
