자갈궤도 상태평가를 위한 비파괴탐사기법 적용성 고찰

초록

Ballast track has been widely used because of convenient maintenance. However, ballast deterioration requires frequent maintenance due to increasing speed, weight, and traffic of trains. Fouling is known as deterioration and expedites irregular settlement. In this paper, non-destructive methods were applied and investigated in order to evaluate ballast conditions such as thickness of fouling layer. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Dynamic Cone Penetrating (DCP) Test resulted in reasonable detection of fouled layer.
