About this document
Lateral Resistance of Frictional Sleepers by Joao Carlos Serpa is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study investigates the effect of different textured frictional sleepers on the lateral resistance of ballasted tracks using discrete element modeling and experimental tests. The results indicate that these frictional sleepers can enhance lateral resistance by up to 32% compared to traditional sleepers, with varying performance based on the texture type. The findings contribute to the optimization of sleeper design for improved track stability under higher train speeds and loads.
