Prestressed monoblock concrete sleepers (PMCS) in railway ballasted tracks are the most
recommended type of sleepers. They experience damage at an increasing rate with the …

Unsupported sleepers or void zones in ballasted tracks are one of the most recent and
frequent track failures. The void failures have the property of intensive development that …

Abstract Insulated Railway Joints (IRJ) fail mainly because of repeated shocks in the end
post region, characterized by a largely reduced stiffness, causing loss of insulation (lipping) …

At horizontal railway curves, the rail is typically a subject to both vertical and lateral wheel
loads. The underestimated influence of lateral load at such locations in the design process …

Monoblock prestressed concrete sleepers are the most dominant type of sleepers in
ballasted railway tracks. As such, it is important to provide optimized designs to the concrete …

Wheel rail rolling contact fatigue is a very common form of damage, which can lead to
uneven rail treads, railhead nuclear damage, etc. Therefore, ANSYS software was used to …

At horizontal railway curves, the track is frequently subject to coinciding vertical and lateral
wheel loads, which in some cases could be of high intensity. Currently, the influence of such …

Unsupported sleepers or void zones in ballasted tracks are one of the most recent and
frequent track failures. The void failures have the property of intensive development that …

In India, Railway plays an important role in the development of the country. The speed of rail
is based on the quality of the tract. This paper illustrates a comparative study of various …
