Behaviour of the track in hot weather. Rail thermal forces for jointed and CW...Constantin Ciobanu
?
The document discusses the behavior of railway tracks under thermal conditions, detailing how rail thermal forces affect both jointed and continuous welded rail (CWR) systems. Key factors influencing track thermal behavior include installation parameters, rail type, and various resistances encountered within the track structure. Additionally, it emphasizes the phenomena of track buckling due to temperature variations and outlines maintenance strategies to manage track integrity in hot weather.
