Popis: A significant increase in demand for services will mean volatility axial load applied to structural elements, particularly the railway station when a train distributions narrow peak intervals. The prestressed concrete runway is one of the major structural component of the train and was showing fatigue cracking as a result of this change. Any local information that link fatigue fracture in concrete directly to understand the fatigue performance are limited. It is important that the load can be simulated real train closed to those under service load. This work aims to study the ability to withstand fatigue loading during services and the flexural behavior of sleeper under low velocity impact loading. The outcome of the work is to produce a harmonic function that will express the variable amplitude waveform through numerical modeling constant amplitude. This is involved a PSC responses due to train wheel loading of the commuter train.
