متن کاملrailway track stiffness variations – consequences and countermeasures
the track stiffness experienced by a train will vary along the track. sometimes the stiffness variation may be very large within a short distance. one example is when an unsupported sleeper is hanging in the rail. track stiffness is then, locally at that sleeper, very low. at insulated joints the bending stiffness of the rail has a discontinuity implying a discontinuity also of the track stiffn...
متن کاملRailway track inspection using GPR
Ž . Swiss Federal Railways SBB inspect their railway tracks at regular intervals. The first step of track renewal planning is a geotechnical study. Inspection is focused on the thickness of the ballast, on subsoil material penetrating upwards into the ballast and on geotechnical properties of subgrade and subsoil materials. Up to now, the inspection has been done mainly by digging trenches at e...

متن کاملSquare Joints in Railway Track Waves
When rails are laid in a railway track, small gaps are left between the ends of adjoining rails to allow for the expansion of the rails when the temperature rises. Rail joints are provided to form a continuous rail path which are normally laid in standard lengths bolted together by fishplates. When two rail joints are exactly opposing each other, they are called square (side by side) joints...
