چکیده
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 new resist was also studied, compared its conventional research aimed determine experiment if sleepers' fulfilled European requirements standers for prestressed sleepers, make comparisons between UHPC All were tested under static load tests at rail seat center section pull-out cast-in fastening components. initial results suggest that generation Ultra-high can be created; long-term efficiency this category will need confirmed dynamic fatigue practical use.

Effect of Reinforcement Type on the Tension Stiffening Model of Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC)
Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a developing concrete and today is increasing to interest using it in structures due to its advantages such as high-compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, highly durability and low-permeability. Therefore, it is necessary to provide models for prediction of nonlinear behavior of this material. This study is aimed to investigate the tension-stiffen...
متن کاملMechanical and Physical Properties of Polyester Polymer Concrete Using Recycled Aggregates from Concrete Sleepers
Currently, reuse of solid waste from disused infrastructures is an important environmental issue to study. In this research, polymer concrete was developed by mixing orthophthalic unsaturated polyester resin, artificial microfillers (calcium carbonate), and waste aggregates (basalt and limestone) coming from the recycling process of concrete sleepers. The variation of the mechanical and physica...

متن کاملUltra High Performance Self Compacting Concrete
Experiences in the development of Ultra High Performance Concrete found a very high flowability in concrete with low water powder ratio. Because of the high viscosity of the cement paste, compaction was necessary. To improve the compaction characteristics of the concrete the idea of adding coarse aggregate was developed. The first tests showed a good workability of the fresh concrete and a good...
متن کاملEffect of track conditions on the flexural performance of concrete sleepers on heavy-haul freight railroads
Concrete sleepers have been widely used throughout the world as an alternative for timber sleepers. In North America, heavy-haul railroads have increased their use of concrete sleepers in recent years for a variety of factors. According to an international survey conducted by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), railroad industry representatives consider center ...
