摘要
Under cyclic loading of the train, the cumulative deformation of the subgrade will be produced, which causes the track irregularity and affects the comfort and safety of the train. In this paper, the cumulative deformation of grading macadam filter for railway subgrade under cyclic loading is studied by large dynamic triaxial tests. The tests were carried out to study the effects of cyclic loading time, confining pressure and cyclic stress ratio on accumulated deformation of grading macadam material. Based on the experimental results, a mathematical model that can reflect the development pattern of the cumulative deformation of grading macadam material is proposed. The tests show: 1) With the increase of cyclic stress ratio, the number of cycles required for the cumulative deformation achieves stability increases gradually. When the cyclic stress ratio is constant, the influence of confining pressure on the number of cycles required for stability is not obvious. The larger the confining pressure is, the larger the final cumulative deformation is. 2) Under the same confining pressure, the larger the cyclic stress ratio is, the more number of cycles are needed for stability and the larger the final cumulative deformation of the grading macadam material is. 3) The larger the confining pressure is, the larger the cumulative deformation is. The larger the cycle stress ratio is, the larger the final cumulative deformation is. When the cyclic stress ratio reaches 0.4, the accumulative deformation law is no longer valid for the stable type. The influence of cyclic loading time, confining pressure and cyclic stress ratio on the cumulative deformation of grading macadam material was obtained through experiments. According to the characteristic of stable type's cumulative deformation curve, a mathematical formula for predicting the cumulative deformation of grading macadam material is proposed. The rule of stable type's cumulative deformation of grading macadam filter is revealed. It provides a basis for accurate prediction and control of post-construction settlement of railway subgrade. © 2018, Editorial Department of Advanced Engineering Sciences. All right reserved.
