Development of New Solid-bed Track Equipped with Resilient Sleepers Using the Shear-key to Achieve Efficient Construction Work

We developed a new solid-bed track equipped with resilient sleepers (STR) using the shear-key on each side of the sleepers to resist lateral load, to achieve the efficient construction work. As a result of full-scale track model tests, we confirmed that the STR has sufficient performance. The STR was actually...
