THE ACTUAL LATERAL LOAD OF A STRADDLED TYPE MONORAIL BEAM CAUSED BY A RUNNING TRAIN

The lateral load caused by a running train is calculated based on measured strain data on straddled type monorail beams at Yomiuri-land monorail, Tokyo monorail and dream-Kotsu monorail. Two measuring points in the upper and lower flanges on the midspan of a monorail beam have been used to collect strain data. Calculations have shown that: the maximum actual lateral force on a straddled type monorail beam caused by a running train load is equal to 10 per cent of each axle load of the specified dynamic load. The proper running speed of a train on a curved monorail beam is to be determined by a superelevation derived from measured strain data.(a)
