Laboratory investigation on contribution of fastening system and sleeper in longitudinal resistance of ballasted railway tracks
Track longitudinal resistance is defined as the resistance generated by sleeper-ballast and rail-sleeper interactions against the imposing forces, which cause longitudinal displacement. This component is one of the important indicators of the continuously welded rail (CWR) track's stability and lateral resistance against buckling. In this paper, the track longitudinal resistance (TLR) and track longitudinal stiffness (TLS) have been investigated to determine the contribution of the fastening system and sleeper in TLR and TLS through laboratory tests and a numerical model. A track panel with one to eight sleepers fastened with 100, 80 and 60 Nm prestressed torqe-force applied to fastening screws was loaded. The average contribution of the sleepers in TLR in the case with a rail-pad for 100 and 60 Nm torque-forces is approximately 30% and 75%, respectively, and the average contribution of the fastening system in the same state is approximately 70% and 25%, respectively.
