Failure Modes and Acceptance Criteria of Reinforced Prestressed Concrete Railway Sleepers Based on Dynamic Loading Tests

Abstract:

The paper is focused on the problems of the dynamic behaviour, failure and resistance of reinforced prestressed concrete railway sleepers, developed and verified continuously in the period of several last years. The results of dynamic loading tests are presented for the sleepers for both wide and narrow track gauge. The test results have been evaluated using the criteria for the acceptance based on the load corresponding to the prescribed crack width and the load at the moment of total fracture.
