MANUFACTURE AND TEST OF TRIAL PC TIES FOR FROST-HEAVE SECTIONS

The intensity of frost heave varies depending on the soil components or the weather and accordingly the distribution of reaction differs from tie to tie. The main objective of the present test is to know the changes of supporting conditions for ties through measurement of the bending moment produced in them by the train load. Though the changes due to frost heaving and thawing could be definitely noted, there were observed no remarkable phenomenon as initially feared of ties being supported only at midpoint; they were seemingly supported more often at both ends as the result of frost heaving.
