THEORETICAL STUDY OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ELEVATED OPEN- FLOORED DIRECT FASTENED TRACK

JNR is contemplating adoption of this type of structure in regions with heavy snowfall involving the use of elastic rubber mats as a beam support. The preliminary report briefly presents some of the results of behaviour of the tracks laid as indicated. The provisional conclusion is that, with certain precautions, this method could be used for the Shin Kansen line, which is scheduled for 260 km/h operations.
