INVESTIGATION OF LATERAL STRENGTH OF RAIL FASTENINGS ON TOKAIDO TRUNK LINE BETWEEN FUJIEDA AND SHIMADA BY LATERAL FORCE TESTING CAR

As a result of tests by the JNR lateral testing car, several types of rail fasteners were designed. Statistical prediction gave a stress variation of 3 to 6t. All designs were designed to withstand a lateral force of 3t and will not easily fail at stresses of 6t. The strongest fasteners utilizes polyurethane gage blocks. Weaknesses of design and materials in the order fasteners tested are also discussed and compared.
