  • 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.
