Prestressed concrete sleeper under extreme loading conditions
Abstract eng: Prestressed concrete sleepers are among the most common structural components of the railway tracks. Nowadays, the majority of railway sleepers are made of prestressed concrete. During their service life, the sleepers are subjected to extreme loading conditions, which may drastically reduce the span of their service life. This paper focuses on the optimized design of prestressed railway sleeper subjected to extreme loading conditions, which represented here by the impact of a flat wheel and by the cyclic loading.
