  • US Army Railroad Course Railway Track Maintenance II TR0671
    SUBCOURSE EDITION TR0671 1 RAILWAY TRACK MAINTENANCE II Reference Text (RT) 671 is the second of two texts on railway track maintenance. The first, RT 670, Railway Track Maintenance I, covers fundamentals of railway engineering; roadbed, ballast, and drainage; and track elements--rail, crossties, track fastenings, and rail joints. Reference Text 671 amplifies many of those subjects and also discusses such topics as turnouts, curves, grade crossings, seasonal maintenance, and maintenance-of-way management. If the student has had no practical experience with railway maintenance, it is advisable that RT 670 be studied before this text. In doing so, many of the points stressed in this text will be clarified. In addition, frequent references are made in this text to material in RT 670 so that certain definitions, procedures, etc., may be reviewed if needed. i THIS PAGE WAS INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK. ii CONTENTS Paragraph Page INTRODUCTION................................................................................................................. 1 CHAPTER 1.

  • Two Layered Ballast System for Improved Performance of Railway Track
    TWO LAYERED BALLAST SYSTEM FOR IMPROVED PERFORMANCE OF RAILWAY TRACK CHAITANYA CALLA A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the University’s requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy December 2003 Coventry University Abstract Considerable evidence suggests that, ballast is the main cause of uniform and non- uniform settlement of ballasted railway track, provided the subgrade is adequately specified. The requirement of a good track is that the sleepers are firmly supported by the ballast bed but over a period of time uneven settlement of the ballast will cause voids to form under the sleepers leading to unacceptable ride quality of track. Voids below sleepers can lead to major track defects and in worst cases can be the cause of vehicle derailment (Ball 2003, Cope and Ellis 2001- p206). Regular maintenance is required to remove voids below sleepers and correct other track geometry faults for smooth, safe and efficient running of the railways. The fundamental principle of track maintenance is to lift the track wherever it is low and pack ballast firmly under the sleepers ( Tazwell 1928, Frazer 1938, Cope and Ellis 2001 - p231). Track maintenance has evolved from manual methods of track maintenance, beater packing and measured shovel packing, of early railways to today’s sophisticated mechanised automated systems of maintenance, tamping and stoneblowing, but the basic principles of maintenance still remain the same. Beater packing or tamping works by compressing existing ballast below and around the sleepers into the void below the sleeper while in measured shovel packing and stoneblowing new stones of smaller size are introduced into the void below the sleeper.

  • A Laboratory Study of Railway Ballast Behaviour Under Traffic Loading
    A Laboratory Study of Railway Ballast Behaviour under Traffic Loading and Tamping Maintenance by Bhanitiz Aursudkij, MEng (Hons) Thesis submitted to The University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2007 Abstract Since it is difficult to conduct railway ballast testing in-situ, it is important to simulate the conditions experienced in the real track environment and study their influences on ballast in a controlled experimental manner. In this research, extensive laboratory tests were performed on three types of ballast, namely granites A and B and limestone. The grading of the tested ballast conforms to the grading specification in The Railway Specification RT/CE/S/006 Issue 3 (2000). The major laboratory tests in this research were used to simulate the traffic loading and tamping maintenance undertaken by the newly developed Railway Test Facility (RTF) and large-scale triaxial test facility. The Railway Test Facility is a railway research facility that is housed in a 2.1 m (width) x 4.1 m (length) x 1.9 m (depth) concrete pit and comprises subgrade material, ballast, and three sleepers. The sleepers are loaded with out of phase sinusoidal loading to simulate traffic loading. The ballast in the facility can also be tamped by a tamping bank which is a modified real Plasser tamping machine. Ballast breakage in the RTF was quantified by placing columns of painted ballast beneath a pair of the tamping tines, in the location where the other pair of tamping tines squeeze, and under the rail seating. The painted ballast was collected by hand and sieved after each test.
