MEASUREMENTS ON THE BALLASTLESS TRACK AT RHEDA

J Eisenmann, B Duwe

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Many measurements at up to train speeds of 250 km/h have been made on the ballastless track in Rheda station which was built in 1972 as part of the wheel-rail research project. The authors report here on some of these measurements, also on the effect of the longitudinal waves on the rails and defects in the track supports. The deformation characteristics of the concrete deck are also discussed. One outcome of these measurements is a recommendation that the dynamic influence should also be recorded in track measurement work.
