A Study on Development of New Type Rubber Boot for Sleeper Floating Track System (STEDEF): Materials and Shapes
Urban railway sleeper floating track (STEDEF) reduces the block vibration transmitted to the subgrade structure by structurally separating the sleeper and the concrete bed, using a rubber boot and a resilient pad. Recently, the replacement of rubber boot material (SBR) after long-term wear and tear...

| description | Urban railway sleeper floating track (STEDEF) reduces the block vibration transmitted to the subgrade structure by structurally separating the sleeper and the concrete bed, using a rubber boot and a resilient pad. Recently, the replacement of rubber boot material (SBR) after long-term wear and tear has become of utmost importance because of durability problems such as deformation, tearing, and abrasion. This study investigates rubber boots—a component of the urban railway sleeper floating track—to resolve these concerns and proposes the material and shape of a novel rubber boot. The proposed rubber boot reduces the maximum displacement and strain by more than 83% and 90%, respectively, compared with the existing rubber boots. In addition, the results of numerical analysis and indoor tests show that type 3 rubber boots can prevent displacement and stress generation in rubber boots. |
