- (1)
- The total potential energy of the spatial vibration of the vehicle-track-station system is obtained by calculating and summing the spatial vibration potential energies of the track-station and the train at a certain moment. The calculation formula is shown in Equation (6):
- (2)
- By applying the principle of constant total potential energy of elastic system dynamics, the variation of the total potential energy is set to zero, as shown in Equation (7):
- (3)
- The track irregularity is regarded as a self-excitation source. Based on the total potential energy variation equation and using the “position-matching” rule for forming matrices, the mass matrix , damping matrix , stiffness matrix , and load vector of the system at any time t are calculated. The vibration equation of the coupled vehicle-track-station system is established, as shown in Equation (8):

6. Conclusions
- (1)
- When trains pass through the station structure at speeds of 200~350 km/h on the mainline and 80 km/h on the arrival-departure lines, the lateral and vertical accelerations of the rail bearing floor slab, for both the arrival/departure line “building-bridge integrated” and the mainline “building-bridge integrated” structures, remain within the permissible limits. Additionally, the lateral and vertical accelerations of the train, derailment coefficient, and wheel load reduction rate all satisfy the regulatory requirements. The comfort indices of the train comply with the current standards, indicating that both structures exhibit satisfactory dynamic performance.
- (2)
- When trains pass through the station structure, the presence or absence of a mainline structural joint has a minimal impact on the dynamic response of trains for the “building-bridge integrated” station structure. For both the arrival-departure line “building-bridge integrated” and the mainline “building-bridge integrated” structures, the lateral and vertical accelerations of the train generally increase with speed. Under the same working conditions, the acceleration time-history curves of the trains with the two different structural configurations are essentially consistent.
- (3)
- The discontinuity in the mainline structure reduces the overall stiffness of the rail bearing floor slab and isolates the train-induced responses transmitted to the platform slab during high-speed operation on the mainline. Therefore, under train loading, the arrival and departure track “building-bridge-integrated” structure with a mainline discontinuity exhibits smaller acceleration responses in the platform slab compared to the mainline “building-bridge integrated” structure without a discontinuity. However, the rail bearing floor slab in the structure with a discontinuity shows larger acceleration and displacement responses. Additionally, the implementation of structural joints often leads to issues such as water leakage and seepage. Thus, for such station structures, it may be considered not to set mainline structural joints.

Comparison Program | Arrival-Departure Line “Building-Bridge Integrated” Structure | Mainline “Building-Bridge Integrated” Structure | Building-Bridge Separating Structure |
---|---|---|---|
Arrival-Departure Line Train Load Transfer Relationship | The train load on the arrival-departure line is applied to the rail bearing floor slab, distributed through the longitudinal and transverse beam system, and then transmitted to the platform slab and the ground through the connecting columns. | The train load on the arrival-departure line is applied to the rail bearing floor slab, distributed through the longitudinal and transverse beam system, and then transmitted to the platform slab and the ground through the connecting columns. | The train load acts on the bridge structure. |
Mainline Train Load Transfer Relationship | The mainline train load is directly transferred to the ground through the track beam and bottom frame columns. | ||
Structural characteristics | The structure has good structural integrity. The rail bearing floor slab of the arrival and departure lines is closely connected with the platform level. In contrast, the rail bearing floor slab of the mainline is separated from the platform level by construction joints. | The structure has good structural integrity and seismic performance. The rail bearing floor slab does not have construction joints. | The bridge structure is independent of the architectural structure. |
Architectural Layout | The dimensions of the beam components are relatively small, resulting in a lower overall height of the station. | The smaller dimensions of the beam components allow for more flexible utilization of the space beneath the bridge, while also contributing to a lower overall height of the station. | The beam components have large dimensions, resulting in a large footprint. Due to the significant height of the box girders, the overall height of the station is increased. |
