Abstract

The paper considers a damping layer design for roadbed with parameters that provide safety of railway traffic in seismically dangerous regions. It presents a theoretical study of seismic forces on railway roadbed on the basis of analysis of earthquake influence parameters on stressed and strained state of railway track construction. For the investigations the author has applied methods of multifactorial experimental design. The author has developed a method for determination of optimal parameters for damping depending on main parameters of an earthquake (magnitude, distance from hypocenter, physical and mechanical characteristics of the Earth crust) and geological characteristics of a railway section (capability of layers, deformational and elastic properties of the Earth crust, foundation and roadbed). As a result, the author suggests designs of a damping layer that has a layered-geterogenous compositional structure with given properties. Moreover, he has established a possibility to increase an aseismic stability of railway roadbed by construction of the damping layer with given properties.
