TESTS WITH REGARD TO IMPROVING THE INSULATION OF STRESSED CONCRETE SLEEPERS BY MEANS OF EPOXY RESIN

Discusses the problems involved in the transition from beechwood to prestressed concrete sleepers as related to insulation qualities. As a means to make concrete sleepers good insulators by developing an insulating epoxy which would be used to treat the wooden dowels which insulate the rail from the sleepers. Projected tests call for 40,000 sleepers to be tested at some future date.
