Investigation of the Elastic Modulus of Polymer Sleepers Under a Quasistatic and Cyclic Loading
In ballasted track, the wheel load is transmitted to the subgrade via sleepers commonly made of impregnated wood, prestressed concrete, steel or recently developed polymer sleepers. Mentioned material types of sleepers are characterized by different elastic moduli being a key parameter in any numeri...
