Insulated block joints: Preliminary assessment of stiffness requirement (TCE-D068-RP-01)

Last updated on 13 August 2014 10:10

Railtrack wish to consider the viability of insulated block joints made from other materials, and currently plastic composites are being considered. The immediate concern is whether such joints can meet the minimum bending stiffness necessary to prevent joint dipping and voiding, which will inevitably lead to additional maintenance requirements. ...
