Railroad Track and Electrification Studies

D. Broek / R. C. Rice / R. K. Steele / T. G. Johns / K. B. Davies

The 10 papers in this report deal with the following areas: prediction of fatigue crack growth in railroad rails; introduction to stresses in rails: stresses in midrail regions; analytical and experimental study of residual stresses in rails; mathematical model for lateral thermal buckling and displacement of curved track; statistical description of service loads for concrete crosstie track; development of multilayer analysis model for tie-ballast and subgrade response to train loads; techniques for evaluating effects of track and vehicle wear on freightcar performance; and effects of energy-cost variation on feasibility of electrifying the Cincinnati-Atlanta main line of the Southern Railway system.
