Description
Summary:Abstract: the article provides a calculation justification of the proposed railway structure on a reinforced concrete sleeper-free base, for which an analysis of the existing methodology for calculating the railway track for strength is carried out, according to which for a railway track on a sleeper-free base, dynamic loads acting from the rolling stock on the track are determined. The analysis of the applied sleeper-less structures of the railway track and the results of measurements of emerging stresses in the substructure, the measured depth of the core are carried out. Using the previously obtained results of studies of the depth of the core, the justification of the required height of the embankment and the calculation of the parameters of the subplate base is carried out. Next, the finite element method calculates the bending stresses arising in the bearing plate, where the maximum is 1.82 MPa and is compared with the permissible value, which is much greater for a reinforced concrete slab. Also, the result is the obtained elastic vertical movements, which indicate a more uniform distribution of the load from the rolling stock on the roadbed.
