OPTIMIZATION FROM THE STANDPOINT OF STRENGTH OF CONCRETE SLAB TRACKS

OPTIMIZACION DESDE EL PUNTO DE VISTTA RESISTENTE DE LAS VIAS SOBRE PLACA DE HORMIGON

This article aims to optimize strengthwise, using a new calculation method, rail bearing elements. As part of the optimization process, it classifies these elements into two phases according to their specific nature: (a) Determination of the elastomer characteristics; (b) Determination of the track-bed and support foundation-layer characteristics.
