ELECTRIC CONDUCTIVITY OF ASPHALT LAYER IN RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION

ELEKTRISCHE LEITFAEHIGKEIT VON ASPHALTBELAEGEN FUER DEN EISENBAHBAU

Electric actuation of railroad signals assumes existence of sufficient electric resistance between rails. Measurements of electric conductivity of asphalt-concrete and mastic asphalt have been carried out. Superiority of mastic asphalt has been ascertained.
