Abstract

The railway level crossing is a meeting point between a highway and a train. This analysis is conducted by identifying and evaluating the components of the Concrete Level Crossing feasible according to the dynamic loads by train and vehicle. Evaluation of Concrete Level Crossing is by observing the condition of the crossing, calculating the passing tonnage of the railroad and highway, calculating the rail tension based on the required railroad class and calculating sleeper tension. Based on the results of calculation, JPL 67 is a class II train line, with a passing tonnage of 12,7 million tons/year. The allowable tension of the rail does not appropriate the requirements of 1141 > 1128 kg/cm2. The rubber rail placement for rotation and stability does not fulfill with 5,701 > 0,0154 MPa for rotation and 38,334 < 112 mm for stability. Result from calculations of lifespan of concrete slab is found that the estimated service is according to the planned life of 10 years, but due to the results of the calculation of the thickness of the concrete plate due to the overload of passing vehicles thicker than the design thickness of the concrete slab is 27%, is estimated that the service life of the concrete level crossing is less than 10 years. The sleepers overstepping the boundaries the requirements for effective prestressing tension calculations with 4924,878 < 200 k g / c m 2 . The maintenance pattern of Concrete Level Cross components is expected to be a reference for effective maintenance cycles at crossings.
