Several types of structural wooden members are used in railroad track and related struc- tures, but this article focuses on crossties—which are used to hold track in place at a defined gauge, or distance between rails—and their production and grading.

  • Hardwood Press-Lam Crossties
    United States Department of Agriculture Hardwood Press-Lam Forest Service Forest Products Crossties: Laboratory Research Paper Processing and FPL 313 1979 Performance ABSTRACT Crossties were made by the Press- Lam process, in which logs are peeled into veneers, dried, and glued into billets in a continuous procedure. Billets were made from 8.5-foot-long veneers and from 4-foot-long veneers, cut into final product dimensions, and treated with preservative. In laboratory tests, bending strength and stiffness of the Press-Lam ties were found to exceed those of solid-sawn red oak crossties; shear strength was only adequate. Tie wear tests showed low surface wear for laminated ties, comparable to the performance of solid specimens. Results of spike driving tests, however, indicated problems in some species. Ail Press-Lam lies met the performance criteria in the cyclic delamination tests, and, in lateral resistance tests, Press- Lam ties were not significantly different from solid-sawn ties. Volume yields are discussed and cost estimates are provided for use in calculating total tie costs for specific cases.

  • Applications of Prestressed Afrp Bars in Concrete
    APPLICATIONS OF PRESTRESSED AFRP BARS IN CONCRETE RAILROAD TIES A Thesis by RYAN D. POSLUSZNY Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Committee Chair, Stefan Hurlebaus Committee Members, John B. Mander Gary T. Fry Anastasia Muliana Head of Department Robin Autenrieth December 2016 Major Subject: Civil Engineering Copyright 2016 Ryan D. Posluszny ABSTRACT Since the 1970’s, concrete railroad ties have become more and more prominent in the railroad industry. Their improved durability and increased safety over traditional timber ties has paved the way for new and more efficient concrete ties to be developed. Prestressing with steel strands was a key design aspect in providing the strength the ties needed to overcome the tonnage seen in heavy haul lines spread across the United States and the world. A major flaw seen with these concrete ties is deterioration due to environment or fatigue loading under the connected rail. This deterioration can lead to a change in gauge of the track structure which can then cause derailment of trains. A second issue found in concrete ties that was not found in timber is the electrical conductivity. Timber is a highly insulating material while concrete possesses insulating and conductive properties based on the amount of moisture present. This is an issue because track structures use the steel rails to carry electrical signals to detect the presence of a train within a signaled block. During construction, the steel strands may come into contact with the embedded steel shoulders on both sides of the tie, therefore creating a direct circuit that needs to be insulated from the steel rails.

  • Opportunities and Regulatory Barrier for the Reuse of Salvaged Dimensional Lumber from Pre-1940S Houses
    Opportunities and Regulatory Barrier for the Reuse of Salvaged Dimensional Lumber from Pre-1940s Houses Zahra. S. H. Teshnizi GREENEST CITY SCHOLAR 2015 Mentors: Lisa Brideau & Hugo Haley “It has been said that our old growth forests still stand — not in our forests, but in our buildings. Think about all that wood, every timber that makes up the bones of our homes, our schools and our workplaces. There’s a lot of it, and it is reusable. ” (Delta Institute, 2012, p. 5) Executive summary One third of the total solid waste in Metro Vancouver, is Construction, Renovation and Demolition (CRD) waste. Close to 90% of the CRD waste that is directly going to landfill in Metro Vancouver is from demolition projects. Compared to commercial buildings, one-two family houses have been far less successful in diverting demolition waste. Wood is the predominant material in single family homes in Vancouver and studies indicate that most of this wood is divertible and should not be sent to landfills. Old houses are a valuable source of high-quality wood from old-growth forests. Despite all the environmental, heritage, and social benefits of building deconstruction and salvage material reuse (specifically wood materials), this is yet to become the common practice in Vancouver. To support the Greenest City Action Plan and the Green Demolition Bylaw of the City of Vancouver, this project aimed to assess opportunities and regulatory barriers to reuse of non- contaminated dimensional lumber from houses built in 1940s or earlier in Vancouver. The project entailed three components: 1. Identifying the quantity, type, quality, and salvageability of dimensional lumber in pre-1940s houses: This information was collected through literature review, site visit of a heritage house renovation project, and interview with the experts in the field.

  • Conclusions and Summaryenvironmental Life Cycle
    Conclusions and Summary Report Environmental Life Cycle Assessment of Ammoniacal Copper Zinc Arsenate-Treated Railroad Ties with Comparisons to Concrete and Plastic/Composite Railroad Ties ISO 14044 Compliant Prepared by: AquAeTer, Inc. © Arch Wood Protection, Inc. a Lonza Company (2013) Project Name: Environmental Life Cycle Assessment of ACZA-Treated Railroad Ties Comparisons to Concrete and Plastic/Composite Railroad Ties Conclusions and Summary Report Lonza Wood Protection commissioned AquAeTer, Inc., an independent consulting firm, to prepare a quantitative evaluation of the environmental impacts associated with the national production, use, and disposition of ammoniacal copper zinc arsenate (ACZA)-treated, concrete, and plastic/composite (P/C)railroad ties, using life cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies and following ISO 14044 standards. The comparative results confirm: • Less Energy & Resource Use: ACZA-treated wood railroad ties require less total energy, less fossil fuel use, and less water than concrete and P/C railroad ties. • Lower Environmental Impacts: ACZA-treated wood railroad ties have lower environmental impacts in comparison to concrete and P/C railroad ties for all six impact indicator categories assessed: anthropogenic greenhouse gas, total greenhouse gas, acid rain, smog, eutrophication, and ecotoxicity-causing emissions. • Greenhouse Gas Levels: Compared to annual GHG emissions from national railroad fuel use, the net GHG “footprint” resulting from the railroads’ choice of tie materials is notable at 1.1% for ACZA-treated ties, 6.3% for concrete ties, and 5.5% for P/C ties. • Offsets Fossil Fuel Use: Reuse of ACZA-treated railroad ties for energy recovery in permitted facilities with appropriate emission controls will further reduce greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, while offsetting the use of fossil fuel energy.

  • Tall Wood Buildings in the 2021 IBC up to 18 Stories of Mass Timber
    Tall Wood Buildings in the 2021 IBC Up to 18 Stories of Mass Timber Scott Breneman, PhD, SE, WoodWorks – Wood Products Council • Matt Timmers, SE, John A. Martin & Associates • Dennis Richardson, PE, CBO, CASp, American Wood Council In January 2019, the International Code Council (ICC) approved a set of proposals to allow tall wood buildings as part of the 2021 International Building Code (IBC). Based on these proposals, the 2021 IBC will include three new construction types—Type IV-A, IV-B and IV-C—allowing the use of mass timber or noncombustible materials. These new types are based on the previous Heavy Timber construction type (renamed Type IV-HT) but with additional fire-resistance ratings and levels of required noncombustible protection. The code will include provisions for up to 18 stories of Type IV-A construction for Business and Residential Occupancies. Based on information first published in the Structural Engineers Association of California (SEAOC) 2018 Conference Proceedings, this paper summarizes the background to these proposals, technical research that supported their adoption, and resulting changes to the IBC and product-specific standards. Background: ICC Tall Wood Building Ad Hoc Committee Over the past 10 years, there has been a growing interest in tall buildings constructed from mass timber materials (Breneman 2013, Timmers 2015). Around the world there are now dozens of timber buildings constructed above eight stories tall. Some international examples include: Building Completion Location Stories Name Date Stadhaus
