Günümüzün yüksek hız ve tonajlı, yoğun işletim şartları altında demiryolu yapı elemanları sıklıkla rezonans hasarlarına uğramakta fiili servis ömürleri kısalmaktadır. Ayrıca dünyada mevcut çelik donatılı, öngerilmeli veya öngerilmesiz beton travers modelleri, öngerilme işlemi etriye kullanım zorunluluğu getirmektedir. Bunun dışında tipler, üretimin hemen ertesi gün gerdirme kuvvetine maruz kala...

Nowadays, railway transport plays a very important role in the system period of positive growth commerce, economy and industry. In accordance with other modes transport, is most stable mode for transporting, safety, capability carrying, social economic benefits. Sleepers have major roles complex distributed load from rails when train goes through to ballast. This study discussed pre-stressed co...

in this research, the structural behavior of timber and concrete sleepers in a standard railway turnout is evaluated, in the case of raising speed. in approaching this evaluation, current practices in the structural analysis of sleepers are surveyed and then, the sensitivity analysis with abaqus software is made based on selected criteria (bending and shear stresses as well as contact pressure)...

Over the past few decades, the use of concrete sleepers in North America has increased as a highperformance alternative to timber sleepers, especially in heavy-haul freight corridors. In order to accommodate heavier axle-loads and prevent center cracking, railroads and suppliers have consistently increased the center bending moment threshold that a sleeper must withstand, leading to stiffer ele...

Pre-stress techniques tend to increase cross-sectional capacity and optimize design. Such features have made these techniques rather popular. Over time, these structures tend to fail, and the reduction of pre-stress force over the lifetime of the structure is said to be one of the most significant destructive factors in these structures. This decrease in force occurs due to various reasons. In ...

In recent times, the shape of beams evolved from wooden sleepers and then to steel until they reached concrete sleepers. These play a very important role in transferring loads train wheels subgrade layers fixed by railway. This development took place we mono-block paper discusses, through laboratory experiments, effect ultra-high performance mixtures on behavior sleeper B70. The ability these n...

In North America, most rail corridors are constructed using ballasted track. Monitoring the ballast support condition and improving upon current sub-structure/ballast maintenance strategies will ensure safe railroad operations. However, it is inherently difficult to evaluate the pressure distribution at the sleeperballast interface. Researchers at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIU...
