Analysis of the Influence of Cracked Sleepers under Static Loading on Ballasted Railway Tracks

The principal causes of cracking in prestressed concrete sleepers are the dynamic loads induced by track irregularities and imperfections in the wheel-rail contact and the in-phase and out-of-phase track resonances. The most affected points are the mid-span and rail-seat sections of the sleepers. Ce...
