Improvement of mechanical properties of railway track concrete sleepers using ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) by Sayed Ahmed, Hossam Atef, Mohamed Husain

“…These sleepers were tested under static load tests at the rail seat and center section and pull-out tests for cast-in fastening components. These initial results suggest that a new generation of Ultra-high performance concrete sleepers can be created; the long-term efficiency of this category of sleeper will need to be confirmed by dynamic and fatigue tests and practical use.…”
