Supervisor:

Department of Railway Structures

Synopsis:

The aim of the subject is to expand the knowledge about continuos welded railway and tram lines achieved in the master's study. The content of the subject is research on continuos welded rail, theories on the calculation of the stability of continuos welded rail and modeling the behavior of continuos welded rail under traffic loads and climatic conditions.

Requirements:

no prerequisites

Syllabus of lectures:

1. Theory of continuos welded rail

2. Calculation of tension in the continuos welded rail and expansion movements

3. Determination of the minimum resistances in the longitudinal and transverse directions from the point of view of the track axis

4. The relationship between the continuos welded rail and the bridge structure

5. Limitations for designing the track geometry for continuos welded rail

Syllabus of tutorials:

Calculation of track deflection

Study Objective:

General overview of the behavior of the continuos welded rail in various climatic conditions, design of structural elements to maintain the safe operability of the track.
