Popis: In Korea, to prepare for unexpected accidents caused by human errors and natural disasters that cannot be completely prevented, a protective wall (a type of side-structure) against derailed trains has been installed on high-speed railway bridges as one of the physical measures to mitigate the associated damage. However, taking the geometric aspects of a domestic railway bridge's super structure into consideration, such a protective wall is not appropriate, and the corresponding protective performance does not provide adequate security. Hence, a protective wall named Derailment Containment Provision (DCP) was newly developed and installed in the track gauge. In this study, to evaluate the impact resistance of the newly developed DCP, a drop weight experiment was conducted, and the impact behavior corresponding to a specific impact energy was analyzed.
