RESEARCH INTO STRESSES IN TRACK

The extensive investigations that have been made in the past few years into the stress conditions obtained in the track structure (from rail to sub-structure) have resulted in positive evolution of the design and dimensioning of rails, ties and ballast bed. The results of this research are detailed, showing by graphs and tables the stresses in rail heads and flanges. The service requirements for the various sizes and strengths of rail are described.
