Concrete Railway Sleepers
Concrete Railway Sleepers Concrete railway sleepers (also known as concrete ties) are sourced from diverse materials, ensuring excellent rail stability. They meet the demands of high-speed and heavy-traffic main railway lines, are resistant to climate, decay, pests, and fire, resulting in a long service life. However, they lack flexibility and may crack, making replacement challenging due to their weight. Classification of Concrete Railway Sleepers Manufacturing Processes: Ordinary and pre-stressed concrete sleepers. Reinforcement Sizes: Available with high-strength steel strings or bars. Types: Three main types of concrete sleepers are used on various railway tracks. Wide Concrete Sleepers: These are designed with a larger base area to support rails better, reducing subsidence […]
