STATIC RESISTANCE OF THE TRACK UNDER LATERAL STRESSES

DER STATISCHE QUERVEVSCHIEBEWIDERSTAND DES BELASTETEN GLEISES

It is impossible to achieve a completely accurate assessment of the resistance of the track to lateral stresses with all the possibilities of deformation involved. With regard to physical problems, an attempt is made to reach a result through calculations based on laboratory and track tests. The resistance R to lateral stresses depends largely on the displacement distance, even if this is small. There is no similarity with Hooke's law, but the relation between R and the lateral stress is linear.
