EXPERIMENTS ON LOCAL STRESSES OF RAILS IN PRINCIPAL USE IN SEVERAL COUNTRIES

There is room for improvement in the current JNR standards for rail section with respect to their effectiveness as beam members and also to their pattern of distributed local stress. The project of the new Tokaido trunk line construction now being pushed forward has prompted JNR to the renewed design of its rail section from various angles since 1958. Laboratory and field tests were conducted for contributing to a better design to the two tentatively designed rail sections of 67 kg/m for the new trunk line and to the current 50 kg/m one, as well as to the five sections of imported rails.
