Method for determining design life of ballastless way by A. Ya. Kogan, A. V. Savin

“…For specific design of ballastless track it would be the rail, the concrete support plate (track concrete) and hydraulically bound layer (lean concrete) correspondingly.The calculation results are presented in the form of amplitude-frequency characteristics of the bending moments in the second layer of ballastless track structure. Given the fact that the amplitude-frequency characteristic is not dependent on the axial load, the calculations are made for the particular case when the values of the speed of 80 km/h and 300 km/h with the actual characteristics of the layers of ballastless track that is operated on the Test Loop of JSC "VNIIZhT".The proposed algorithm and methodology make it possible to transfer the results of observations of the processes of degradation of tested ballastless track design, obtained at the Test Loop (st. …”
