      <title>ON THE ANALYSIS OF RAIL SWITCH INTERLOCK</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/79368</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Performance of a sliding interlock in the rail track switch is analyzed theoretically.  The friction forces in the lock during switching are assessed.  Imperfect lock is shown to appreciably increase the switching resistance.  Reasons for this effect are outlined.  The analysis can constitute a starting point to perform tests on both current and improved locks.]]></description>

      <title>QUALITY OF TRACK AS A CONSTRAINT ON THE SPEED OF TRAINS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/53219</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Speed of trains is analyzed on track segments with a deteriorated quality.  A thorough study of the speed limits as safety measures is found to lead to considerable economy. A suitable description of the track quality is attempted as one of the safe speed criteria.]]></description>

      <title>SIMULATION METHOD OF PREDICTING SINGLE REPLACEMENTS OF RAILROAD SLEEPERS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/67239</link>
      <description><![CDATA[It is suggested that not every single sleeper, found inoperative in a track, has to be replaced at once.  As a criterion for single replacements a number d of neighboring ineffective sleepers is adopted.  Appreciating the probabilistic nature of single replacements, a model of the process is constructed and a solution arrived at by means of computer simulation.  Field observations show that the number a considerably influences the number of single replacements. Separate investigations are necessary in order to select specific values of d for given structural and maintenance conditions of the track.  Some pilot tests on gage changes is a result of different thrusts and different number of ineffective sleepers show that the number d should rather be less than three.]]></description>

      <title>ATTEMPT TO DEFINE THE INTERRELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A RAILROAD TRACK AND THE TYPE OF ITS SUBGRADE</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/24906</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Experimental section of railroad track that was laid on weak subgrade was used for investigation of the track's behavior during a period of 2 years.  Paper attempts to evaluate stress-changes in rails as function of changes in the geomechanical parameters of the subgrade criteria for the serviceability of cohesive subsoils are formulated.]]></description>
