Concrete sleepers are commonly used to constructed ballasted track infrastructure in demanding locations on heavy axle load (HAL) freight railroads with steep grades, sharp curves, and high annual gross tonnage. Center flexural cracking is one of the

Wheel profile is one of the most critical factors that governs the dynamic interaction between railcar wheels and the rail. This paper quantifies and analyzes 15,000 wheel profiles that were randomly selected from a dataset obtained from wayside whee

Over the past 20 years, there have been at least 10 derailments due to spike fastener fatigue failures in North America. These fatigue failures have been considered a moderate to severe challenge that require manual walking inspections that are both

Comparatively little attention has been given to the quantification of fastener demands, especially in the longitudinal direction. Research quantifying fastener demands is justified by the more than 250 FRA reportable derailments on mainlines and sid

Ballasted railway track is typically constructed using sleepers that are manufactured from a common material type within a given length of track. Timber and concrete are the two most common sleeper materials used internationally. Evidence from histor

Current structural models used for the flexural design of prestressed concrete sleepers assume that ballast bearing support is static and located within a fixed region. This assumption implies a linear relationship between wheel load and bending mome

Many analytical methods and other processes have been developed for the evaluation of railway track and its components, but these have largely been used for analysis. Design is often driven by development projects that do not engage research, resulti
