STUDY OF THE BEHAVIOR OF TRACK SUBJECTED TO TRANSVERSAL STRESSES

ESTUDIO DEL COMPORTAMIENTO DE LA VIA FRENTE A ESFUERZOS TRANSVERSALES

The purpose of this study is to further knowledge on the horizontal stability of the track. The author considers the effect of transversal movement on the reliability of the different elements forming the track. He calculates the coefficient of safety against bending of the track on the basis of ballast slip resistance and sleeper rigidity.
