DEVELOPMENT OF THE CONCRETE SLAB TRACK ON FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT

A concrete slab track of RA type to be laid on an earth layer which had been stabilized by asphalt treatment and supported on a firm roadbed and embankment, has been developed. The results of static and dynamic tests performed on an experimental track section constructed with RA type structure revealed its effectiveness in fulfilling the requirements. The strength of mortar filling between the slab and the pavement intended for resisting the track lateral force has also been confirmed by the tests. At present, such track sections are being used in revenue service lines with excellent performance.
