Analysis of Vertical Dynamic Cross Interaction between Adjacent Footings for Railway Tracks through Soil
College of Mechanical & Electrical Engineering, Hohai University, Changzhou 213022, China
An efficient semi-analytical method is presented for the vertical analysis of adjacent railway tracks considering the dynamic cross interaction (DCI) effect through the semi-infinite soil medium. The interfaces between soil and tracks are discretized into a series of strip elements to solve the unknown contact pressure influenced by DCI effect. The Green function for each element under uniform harmonic excitation is derived and calculated by the piecewise integration and Cauchy principal value integral. The vertical impedance matrix is finally obtained by the superposition method. The accuracy and the effectiveness in high frequency range are verified by the convergence study, as well as the comparison study with the rigorous results from the mix-boundary-value method. The influence of the soil properties and the tracks distance on the DCI effect are discussed in detail in the parameter studies. It is shown that the DCI effect increases with the decrease of the distance ratio S/L.
