Innovative digital twins (DTs) that allow engineers to visualise, share information, and monitor the condition during operation is necessary optimise railway construction maintenance. Building Information Modelling (BIM) an approach for creating managing inventive 3D model simulating information useful project management, monitoring of a specific asset whole life cycle assessment (LCA). BIM application can help provide efficient cost management time schedule reduce delivery throughout...
Prestressed concrete sleepers (or railroad ties) are the crosstie beam support in railway track systems. They designed and constructed under flexural constraints order to carry transfer dynamic wheel loads from rails ground. Under perfect rail conditions, loading on tracks could be treated as a quasi-static load using impact factor. The current design method for prestressed taking into account effect is based allowable stress where crack initiation not permitted. In reality, events often...
This paper presents the results of experimental and numerical studies comparative behavior square hollow section (SHS) tubes filled with rigid polyurethane foam (RPF) concrete undergoing transverse impact loading. A series instrumented drop hammer tests were performed on mild steel stainless SHSs for both unfilled constructions. The concrete-filled had highest resistance energy absorption capacity, followed by RPF, then tubes. also show that RPFs can be used as an effective infill material...
