The Application of Bamboo in the Railway Industry

A Sustainable Solution for Track Construction

The railway industry has shown a strong interest in utilizing sustainable materials, including recycled materials and composites, in construction. Bamboo, as a highly renewable natural resource, has been proposed as a construction material for the railway industry. This material ...
In the present paper the mechanical behavior of two types of Kunststof Lankhorst Product (KLP) sleeper, namely low-density polyethylene sleeper (LDPE-16) and high-density polyethylene sleeper (HDPE-25) with 16 mm and 25 mm steel bars diameter, are studied. To this end, the static ...
Transition zones between railway tracks and bridge decks can cause higher dynamic impacts. A solution is smoothly changing the track stiffness by gradually mixing steel furnace slag into the stone ballast. A nominated bridge transition zone is divided into 5 blocks of 7 meters lo ...
Recently, implementing steel slag ballast has been proposed as an appropriate material to substitute stone ballast. In this regard, one of the technical concerns is the behavior of steel slag ballast in both time and frequency domains that needs to be assessed, properly. Furtherm ...
