Mass Transportation System
Why do we need Mass Transportation System?
Why Mass Transport Systems?

1.
Growth of population Increased Traffic
2.
Inadequate Public Transport Poor traffic Management and inadequate Public Transport
3.
Increasing Personalized Transport

Basic Inability of Public Transport to meet needs
Increasing Incomes, vehicle ownership
4.
Effects Reduced Access, Congestion, Pollution

Why do we need Metros ?
Metro Advantages
1.
Fuel Economy
Requires 1/5th energy per passenger per km compared to road-based system.
2.
Reduced Road Stress

Lesser Road Traffic and Lesser Accidents
No road space, if underground and only about 2 meters width of the road, if elevated
Carries same amount of traffic as 5 lanes of bus traffic or 12 lanes of private motor cars, if its a light
capacity system.
3.
Pollution Free
Zero Emission
4.
Increased Mobility
Easy and better accessibility to facilities in the influence and remote areas
Increased opportunities in the economic and business sectors

Difficulties faced in Metro Construction
Challenges for Metro Rail Design Engineers

1.
Difficult to construct Bridges or Tunnels in locations with dense population.
2.
Noise and duration of construction may stall the traffic more during the period of construction.
3.
Metros/ Monorails use Continuous Welded Rails, which have their own advantages and
disadvantages

Balanced Cantilever Method of Construction
Cast-in-Situ Segments
Precast Segments
Integral Bridge Method of Construction (monorail)
2.
3.
Rail Structure Interaction (midas Civil)

Continuous Welded Rails
Tunneling (midas GTS)

Tunnel Boring Machine used to excavate tunnels with a circular cross section through a variety of soil and rock strata.
They can bore through anything from hard rock to sand.

Metro

1.
Balanced cantilever construction implies construction of cantilever segments from a pier in a

balanced fashion on each side until the mid span is reached and a closure known as stitch
segment is made with other half span cantilever constructed from the preceding pier.
2.
The procedure is as follows:
The form work is suspended from the end of the last segment.
The new segment is cast and once the concrete has developed a predetermined strength,
the section is post tensioned to the rest of the bridge.
The same erection process is repeated till the structure is completed.

Advantages
1. Less Space Required
Construction in urban area where temporary shoring would disrupt traffic services below.
2. Less Formwork Required

3. Larger Spans
Useful where span length is more but launching of girder is not possible.
4. More efficient, safe and economical
Easy adoptability to curvature and super elevation.
Useful for odd sizes, single span etc.

Considerations for a Bridge Engineer

1. Camber
Due to cantilever action there will be some deformations, due to which, some construction
defects may arise, specially when installing the stitch segment
2. Prestress Losses
3. Creep and Shrinkage Effect
4. Proper Construction Sequences

Continuous Welded Rails - Advantages

Definition of Continuous Welded Rail (CWR) Rails are continuously welded and thus, the length of one rail is
longer than 200m. ex > standard length rail (L=25m), longer rail (L=25~200m)
Necessity of Continuous Welded Rail
1. Reduced Impact Force in the rails increases the life span of the rails and improves the ride quality.
2. Decreasing noise and vibration by the reduced impact force is less impeding the ambient environment.
26
Metro
Key Concerns
1. Check Points for Continuous Welded Rail
When temperature rises: Track Deformation (buckling of rail)
When temperature drops: Split web at rail end

Rail Structure Interaction in Midas
Key Considerations for Rail Track Analysis

1.
Rail Deck Interaction :
2.
Loadings:
3.
Proper Interaction between the rails and the

deck or embankment can be simulated using
midas Civil.
Multi Linear Elastic Links: as per the loading and
unloading stiffness given by the user.
Consideration of Horizontal - Temperature,

Braking/Acceleration and Vertical - Train Loading
effects.
Load Combinations
Can perform both Separate Analysis and

Complete Analysis ( i.e. Construction Stage
Analysis)
28
Metro
Key Considerations for Rail Track Analysis Cont..

1.
UIC Code Implementation:
2.
Temperature variation:
3.
Auto-generation of railway analysis models as per International Union of Railways Code (UIC 774-3R)
Longitudinal relative displacement of deck and the displacement due to bridge rotational angle
The axial force occurs in the continuous welded rail as the expansion or contraction force due to
temperature variation is accumulated in the rail.
Expansion Joints:
Stress and displacement due to temperature gradient by ZLR(Zero Lateral Resistance) and REJ(Rail
Expansion Joints)
29
Metro
30
Metro
Load Combinations
1.
Load combinations used for computing the rail stresses and the longitudinal loads acting on
bearings
R = R (Thermal loads) + R(Accelerating/braking loads)+R(Train vertical loads)
2.
When computing the stresses and displacements in the rails for a continuous or simply
supported bridge deck: ,,=1
3.
When using the computational analysis method, the interaction due to accelerating/braking
loads and train vertical loads can be separately computed.
31
Metro
Analysis Methods and Accuracy

1.
The accuracy depends on the computational analysis methods.
2.
The following two computational analysis methods are available:
3.
Separate analysis: thermal loading, accelerating/braking loading and train vertical loading
are separately considered.
Staged analysis: thermal loading, accelerating/braking loading and train vertical loading
are concurrently applied.
Depending on the global structural system, the separate analysis is more likely to produce the
greater axial forces than the staged analysis.
32
Metro
33
Metro
Computational Analysis
Considerations for modeling

Placement of bearings, the dimensions and properties of the deck and pier, the bending stiffness
and the height of deck, the neutral axis of deck, and the lateral and bending stiffness of
foundation.
34
Metro
Rail Structure Analysis
Considerable Amount of Effort Required

1.
Number of Train Loading Positions
2.
Deck and Embankment Modelling
3.
Providing Unloading and Loading Stiffness to each Link

This changes with Loading Position of Train.
Complete Modelling of all spans should be done

Simulation of Embankment and Deck

Integral Bridge Analysis
Integral Bridge
1. Monolithic Construction: The Deck and Piers are monolithically constructed or the deck is integrated
afterwards
Portal Frame Behavior
2. Cost Effective
No Bearings
Very less maintenance required
3. Construction Sequence is very important
In the case of Composite Integral Bridge Construction Sequence is very important
4. Temperature Effects
Outer Piers should be more flexible than inner piers
5. Soil Structure Interaction
Applying soil stiffness of the adhering soils to the Piles and Abutment to simulate the nonlinearity of
the soil

Tunneling
Tunneling Considerations
1.
Settlement
Due to tunneling, there will be some settlement observed at the top of the soil.
2.
Effect on Adjacent structures i.e Deep Foundations, existing tunnels etc.
3.
Actual Simulation of the surface and soil profile should be performed.
4.
Construction sequence of the tunneling.
5.
Effect of earth/rock pressures and water pressure.
