A VERY LONG RAIL LAID ON BRIDGE

The authors describe theoretically the axial force of rail (tensile or compression) caused by temperature change, showing restrictions imposed on construction of a bridge in a long rail section. It was concluded that the design of suitable fastening for a bridge under very long rail and the proper construction and maintenance of approach tracks adjacent to abutment will be of prime importance in future. Longitudinal force acting on the bridge shoes being obtained, we can apply the present theory if the coefficient of adhesion is below 30 percent.
