Summary:Three types of sidewall, the panel, beam and directly-attached coil type, were adopted as guideway structures for the Yamanashi Maglev Test Line. We evaluated their merits and demerits and developed a new type guideway structure based on the results. Emphasis was placed on improving the efficiency of attaching the sidewalls onto the concrete roadbed as a means to reduce construction costs. We discussed the installation efficiency of several sidewall shapes from all aspects, and eventually adopted an inverted-T-shaped sidewall, fixed to the concrete roadbed by four supports. This paper reports the design of the support in detail, as it is a very important component of the new guideway structure.
