Abstract

In order to ensure the normal use of a junction section of a modern tram, this paper mainly studied a trackside concrete reinforcement scheme. Firstly, the entire non-reinforcement system model with a small radius curve composed of rail, fastener, fastener cover, flexible material, asphalt layer and track slab was established using the ABAQUS finite element software, and the stress distribution and deformation state of the asphalt layers of the non-reinforcement system model under the social vehicle load were analyzed. Then, the whole system model of the concrete reinforcement scheme was founded, and the stress and deformation of the asphalt layers under the same load were investigated. Finally, the calculation results of the concrete reinforcement model were com-pared with those of the non-reinforcement model, and the reinforcement effect was studied. The results show that the concrete reinforcement scheme significantly reduces the stress and deformation of the asphalt layers and improves the stress distribution and deformation state of the asphalt layers.
