Conditional time-dependent limit state function model considering damages and its application in reliability evaluation of CRTS II track slab. (English) Zbl 1481.74653

Summary: On-site observations show that several damages have occurred in CRTS II slab-type ballastless track system, such as crack and interface debonding between different structural layers, which will trigger the occurrence of some failure modes of CRTS II track slab. As the damages are the prior for specific failure modes, time-dependent reliability of CRTS II track slab should be conducted considering the uncertainties associated with both the failure mode and the damage, which is defined as the conditional time-dependent reliability in this study. To appropriately express the causal relationship among the failure modes and prior damages, a conditional limit state function (LSF) model is proposed with explicit expressions provided. With the aid of the proposed model, conditional time-dependent reliability of CRTS II track slab for two individual failure modes are investigated, which are the steel yielding failure mode under longitudinal cracking, and the vertical instability failure mode under interface debonding. Furthermore, conditional time-dependent system reliability of the track slab has also been analyzed considering four safety failure modes. The advantage of the proposed method is that prior damages have been accounted in establishing the failure criteria and incorporated in the formulation of time-dependent reliability, which provides a general formwork for structural reliability involving the causal relationship among the failure modes and damages.
