Experimental and Numerical Analyses of the Failure of Prestressed Concrete Railway Sleepers

Experimental and Numerical Analyses of the Failure of Prestressed Concrete Railway Sleepers

This paper carries out the assessment of load-carrying capacity of prestressed concrete sleepers, in accordance with Brazilian Standard (ABNT NBR 11709) and AREMA Standard. In a lot of railways around the world, many prestressed concrete sleepers have failed due to Rail Seat Abrasion (RSA) and corro...
