Abstract

A concrete-paved railway track is proposed as a tentative plan to make a radical change in the construction of track that can cope with excessive traffic volume presently imposed on major lines of the Japanese National Railways and with super-high speed expected on the projected new Tokaido line. A tentative track 10m long was laid within the premises. Various kinds of strength tests and measurements were carried out on the track to explore the possibilities of adopting such a track in the future.
