RAILWAY TRACK VIBRATION INDUCED BY TRAIN MOVEMENT

The railway track under train movement suffers progressive deterioration, which is equivalent to multiplication of repeated train load and vibration induced. The paper presents the results of measurements on the aggravated track vibration and the comparative study of track vibration on the concrete ties and on the traditional ties. Ballast acceleration in two sections laid with concrete ties using tie-pads of 110 t/cm spring constant averaged 23 percent and 35 percent respectively, less than that of the section laid with common ties. The value in a section laid with concrete ties using tie-pads of 250 t/cm spring constant averaged 24 percent larger. There is a conspicuous difference in occurrence distribution of acceleration at the welded joint.
