APPLICATION OF POLYMER MATERIALS TO BALLASTLESS TRACK STRUCTURE--PERFORMANCE TESTS FOR RUBBER MATS USED IN OPEN-BED, SLAB-TYPE TRACK STRUCTURE

JNR is making large-scale trials with several new forms of ballastless track. One of these is of an open-bed, slab type, and consists of reinforced concrete supporting beds fixed at certain intervals on a concrete floor, rubber mats each placed at predetermined positions on the supporting beds, a series of prefabricated, well-finished reinforced concrete slabs resting on the rubber mats, and standard flat-bottom rails laid directly on the slabs. The open-bed, slab type tracks were laid tentatively in 1966 and are now still in service.
