High-Strength, Reduced-Modulus, High-Performance Concrete for Prestressed Concrete Crosstie Applications
High-performance concrete (HPC) with early strength development is the material of choice for fabricating prestressed concrete railroad ties. However, the higher strength of HPC results in significantly higher elastic modulus values and increases the rigidity of the tie, leading to higher...
Characterization of Track Geometry for Various Operational Conditions
This report characterizes the amplitude and wavelength content of the current track geometry environment of the United States railroad system and examines the combination of geometric parameters for different operational conditions. The analyzed track geometry dataset consists of over 49,000...
