SURFACINGS ON STEEL CARRIAGEWAYS /IN GERMAN/

THE COATING CAN BE USED AS A COMPOSITE MEMBER IF ITS TENSILE, COMPRESSIVE AND SHEAR STRESS UNDER LOADING IS SMALL, IF IT REMAINS ELASTIC UNDER LIVELOADING AT ANY TEMPERATURE, AND IF ITS STRESSES IN PROPORTION TO THE MODULUS OF ELASTICITY ARE NO WORSE THAN WITH PLATE STEEL. UNDER THESE CONDITIONS THE THICKNESS OF THE COATING COULD BE REDUCED FROM 6 TO 3-4 CM. TESTS ARE BEING MADE ON THIS POINT. THE CURRENTLY USED ASPHALT DOES NOT ADMIT A REDUCTION OF THE CROSS-SECTION OF THE STEEL; FOR THIS AN ADMISSABLE BOND ACTION OF STEEL AND COATING WOULD BE NECESSARY. /FG/RRL/
