      <title>BONDED JOINTS AND PREPARATION FOR BONDING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/145306</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This lecture series contains 8 papers, all of which are indexed separately.  The papers cover the following topics: operational experience with adhesive bonded structures; interfacial fracture-mechanical aspects of adhesive joints; adhesive joint design; behavior of adhesive joints under cyclic loading; failures of adhesive joints; the nature of adhesion mechanisms and the effect of surface treatment on the behavior of adhesive joints; surface preparation for more durable joints; and nondestructive testing of adhesive joints.]]></description>

      <title>INVESTIGATION INTO THE RESPONSE OF FASTENERS AND RAILS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/31835</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This issue presents the following reports: (1) Some problems of investigation of increased resiliency rubber pads for a track with concrete ties.  This shows calculation and design of increased resiliency rubber pads intended for decreasing rigidity of the track with concrete ties.  Included are laboratory experiments, experimental research into the operation of rubber pads on the track,  and operational observations.  (2) Constructional advantages of glue-bolt insulating joints and effectiveness of application, showing an analysis of research on the stress deformed state of glue-bolt insulating joints under various types of loads. The results of observations on the operation of joints in the track,  brief information about the technology for manufacture of the joints, and economic grounds for their application are also presented.  (3) The distribution of plastic deformation in the surface zone of rail rolling attachments, presenting the results of experimental research into the distribution of plastic deformation on the width and depth of the head of P65 standard production rails of the "Azovsteel" and "KMK" enterprises.  It is determined that during the evaluation of the character of formation of the forged layer of the rail-heads it is necessary to include the load on the axle and the allowable tonnage (especially during the first operating stage) as well as the contact conditions of the rail wheels.  (4) Experimental research into operation of railroad track in the early period of stabilization, presenting the results of experimental research on the peculiarities of operation of temporary railroad track.]]></description>

      <title>SPECIAL TECHNIQUES DEVELOPED FOR BUILDING ARIZONA LINE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/13333</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Coal-haul railroad has concrete ties, butt-welded rail, 'glued' closure joints.  Construction procedure involves novel system and equipment for distributing ties on subgrade to proper spacing and alignment.  The electrified line, 78 miles long, is being built to carry coal from the Black Mesa coal fields in Arizona to an electric generating station near Page, Ariz.  The concrete tie used is the Gerwick RT-7 tie.]]></description>

      <title>STEEL UNIT JOINTS BY MEANS OF EPOXY GLUE AND HIGH-STRENGTH BOLTS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/34340</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Results are presented of tests on glued bolted and mixed joints. It was found that, the strength of mixed (glued and bolted) joints is greater by at least 50% than that of ordinary joints. /TRRL/]]></description>

      <title>CUSTOM EQUIPMENT BUILDS FIRST HIGH-VOLTAGE ELECTRIC RAILROAD</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/13196</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Morrison-Knudsen Co., Inc. (M-K), Boise, parent firm of the San Francisco-based IECO, built the $52.5-million turnkey railroad for a group headed by the Salt River Project (SRP), a Phoenix utility.  M-K used a host of custom-built equipment to place almost a mile of concrete ties on an average day, and it glued together 1,440-ft strings of continuously welded rail with epoxy.  Two steps forward. IECO project director J.F. Pearce says that "no one had gone to 50 kv before because the technology was not sufficiently developed to produce locomotives with 50-kv primary equipment."  IECO worked with General Electric Co. on them.  Another innovation says project design engineer James Lackey, was positioning a lightning shield wire directly over the catenary wire to get low line impedance.]]></description>
