ORGANIZATIONAL PROBLEMS OF TRACK MAINTENANCE

VOPROSY ORGANIZATSII PUTEVOGO KHOZIAISTVA

This issue presents the following reports: (1) The influence of the length and type of repair upon labor expenditures for current maintenance of track, depending upon the volume of train traffic; (2) On establishing maintenance practices for extending the service of rail fastenings on jointed track; (3) On problems of utilizing traffic "windows" for current maintenance of track; (4) On specifying the transfer of shoulder base stresses to the shoulder stresses in the rail head; (5) On determining ballast density by radiotechnical methods; (6) The influence of unequal resilience in the subgrade and foundation on stress deformation of the track structure beneath the rail under static loads; (4) Research into oscillation of embankments on marshlands; (8) Protection of controllers from humidity during full-scale tensimeterization of rails.
