      <title>STOWAGE OF HEAVY GOODS IN CONTAINERS AND ON FLATS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/151781</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This booklet is a result of the study "Stowage of Heavy Goods in Containers and on Flats".  The study was initiated by the Steel Committee of the Swedish Shippers Council and subsidised by the Transport Research Delegation.  The recommendations worked out with the cooperation of various parties involved in the transport sector, are based on theoretical calculations and practical tests.]]></description>

      <title>RAILROAD TECHNOLOGY: L&amp;D PREVENTION. FORGING NEW WEAPONS FOR THE WAR AGAINST WASTE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/155020</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Loss and damage prevention has been given new status at AAR and a data base for analyzing L&D has been established. Technology, from improved equipment and component design to improved train-handling techniques and training, is playing a role in controlling payouts that reached more than $300 million in 1979.  Almost a third of this loss is accounted for by automobiles and auto parts and special attention is being paid to this segment of traffic.]]></description>

      <title>STUDY OF FORCE EFFECTS ON SELECTED MATERIALS USED IN CARGO TO VEHICLE RESTRAINT SYSTEMS FOR RAIL TRANSPORT. VOLUME 1. SUMMARY REPORT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/77867</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Movement of cargo by any of the various modes of transportation-ship, railroad, or truck-requires the employment of some type of restraining device.  The present methods of restraining cargo were developed by using the "Trial and Error" approach.  The amount of dunnage was determined, more or less by the experience of the packaging personnel or by using static test results along with a good margin of safety.  This method of designing cargo restraints suggested the need for developing a technological base for selecting various materials to be used in cargo to vehicle restraint systems.  Therefore, in April 1973, the US Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command (DARCOM) Ammunition Center and the Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) Transportation Engineering Agency (TEA) decided to participate in a joint project to conduct a series of tests to develop such a technological base. Because of the limited amount of information available of the reaction of dunnage material to dynamic forces, major emphasis was conducted primarily to evaluate the strength of wood-nail assemblies and the effect of wheel chocks in chain and wire rope restraint systems designed for rail transport. Because rail impact tests are difficult to control and are costly, a major portion of the tests were conducted using laboratory facilities.  /Author/]]></description>

      <title>REMOVABLE EXTRUDED ALUMINIUM PARTITIONS FOR RAILWAY VEHICLES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/85726</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The system of separating panels and air cushions to protect goods in transit is not entirely suitable for mixed consignments with different types of goods.  Ten Hbis 295 wagons have therefore each been fitted with 6 aluminium partitions weighing only 1200 kg including the slides and fastenings, designed to withstand a 15-tonne pressure.  This new system of dividing freight wagons by means of removable partitions has passed all loading tests satisfactorily.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This report presents the results from laboratory tests that simulated field dynamic conditions of forces on wood-nail assemblies. Between April 1973 and May 1977, 336 laboratory test specimens, three samples per specimen, were tested on a modified conbur type inclined ramp.]]></description>

      <title>STUDY OF FORCE EFFECTS ON SELECTED MATERIALS USED IN CARGO TO VEHICLE RESTRAINT SYSTEMS FOR RAIL TRANSPORT. VOLUME 3. RAIL IMPACT TESTS ON WOOD-NAIL ASSEMBLIES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/77893</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This report is Volume 3 of six volumes that document a series of tests that were conducted by the US Army Materiel Development and Readiness Command (DARCOM) Ammunition Center and the Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC) Transportation Engineering Agency (TEA). The tests were performed in order to develop a technological base for selecting various materials to be used in cargo to vehicle restraint systems. This report presents results of rail impact tests that were performed on thirteen wood-nail combinations of full-scale blocking. These tests were conducted between July and October 1977, inclusive, to determine if the laboratory data could be applied to full-scale blocking and bracing design. (Author)]]></description>

      <title>STUDY OF FORCE EFFECTS ON SELECTED MATERIALS USED IN CARGO TO VEHICLE RESTRAINT SYSTEMS FOR RAIL TRANSPORT. VOLUME 4. STUDY OF THE EFFECTS OF NAIL COATING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/77894</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A number of laboratory tests were conducted in the past four years to establish physical criteria for and characteristics of cargo restaint systems. Those tests indicated that nail coating is effective only for high-carbon-steel (AISI 1040), cement-coated nails used in oak wood. The effectiveness is shown by a significant increase in the lateral resistance of a wood-nail assembly to dynamic forces. This report presents results of further tests, which sought to explain some of the results of the previous laboratory tests.]]></description>

      <title>ELASTIC SYSTEM FOR TRACTION AND SHOCK GEAR (SIDE BUFFERS AND CENTER BUFFERS). STUDY OF LOAD PROTECTING DEVICES FOR PALLETISED LOADS THROUGH BUFFING TESTS.</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/14801</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The report contains a description of the various load protecting systems (with the exception of impact dampers with long stroke) for palletised loads in order to prevent damage.  The systems studied can be subdivided into two groups, according to their operating principles, consisting in: (1) the creation of a rigid load forming a solid assembly with the wagon, to avoid any impact effects between wagon and load; (2) the dissipation of energy by the sliding of the load under simultaneous elastic storing of the impact energy.  The tests have shown very clearly that the principle of the sliding load, for damage prevention does not lead to the desired effect in the case of palletised goods.  Owing to the shifting of the various load tiers relative to each other and also because of parts of the load fallen from the pallets, difficulties are encountered during unloading using fork lift trucks, or this unloading procedure will even become impossible.  The principle, consisting in the creation of a rigid load, forming a solid assembly with the wagon (Daberkow System with pre-loading of the goods through air cushion and the system with movable rigid partitions), gave good results during the buffing tests.  However, the system based on the use of movabale rigid partitions has not yet reached its final stage of perfection and the performance of this system during the run could not yet be verified.  The practical experience obtained from the Daberkow system hitherto has shown that the pre-loading also prevents the lateral sliding of the loads during conveyance.]]></description>

      <title>AIR BAG TYPE CAR HOLDER FOR TRAIN FERRY</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/12102</link>
      <description><![CDATA[In order to mechanize the fixing work of rolling stock carried on a train ferry, a remote-controlled air bag type car holder, which works at a time, has been developed together with its particular controlling device, hoping to take place of the conventional turnbuckle type car lashing apparatus.  This report presents the experimental results obtained with respect to the fundamental problems such as the compressibility of air bags, the effect of air bag type car holder upon the side structure of a freight car and a synthetic review on the problems arising from the realistic installation plan and the particular controlling device.
