Effect of sleeper spacing, and of consolidation following tamping, on the vertical deformation of track under traffic (TN-SM-122)

This report gives an initial comparison of the results of tests measuring the vertical deformation of track in the Track Research Laboratory, Derby. These tests were carried out for track having 500mm, 600mm and 760mm sleeper spacing and for track that had been consolidated by a Plasser VIM 800 Consolidator...
