Modulus of Track Elasticity ()

Defined as the load per unit length of rail required to depress that rail by one unit. p = - y p = upward pressure per unit length = track modulus of elasticity (track stiffness) y = vertical deflection of rail with wood ties = 2000 Avg., 1000 poor, 5000 stiff
Track Design
26
Maximum Deflection Y0 of Rail
p Y0 = (64 3)
Y0 = maximum deflection (x=0, under wheel) p = Dynamic wheel load (static load + 1% per MPH over 5 MPH) = Modulus of elasticity of rail steel (30 x 106 psi) = Moment of Inertia of rail (65.6 in4 for 115RE) = Track modulus of elasticity AREMA recommended limit of deflection is 0.25

Maximum Rail Bending Stress
S=
M0C
C = distance in inches from the base of rail to its neutral axis
AREMA recommended maximum = 25,000 psi Rail steel yield point = 70,000 psi

Ballast Pressure Under Centerline of Tie (PC)
PC =
16.8 Pa h 1.25
Pa = uniformly distributed pressure over the tie face h = depth below bottom of tie in inches
Pc of 20 psi is AREMA suggested value for firm subgrade soil.

Unit Pressure (Pa) Transmitted from Bottom of Tie to Ballast (psi) 2P 3P Pa = = 2/3 bL bL
P = wheel load (lbs) L = Tie length in inches b = Tie width in inches 2/3 = factor for 2 load bearing thirds of tie Pa should not exceed 65 psi for wood ties 85 psi for concrete ties 2P = Total tie load

Rail Stress from Temperature Change

115RE rail Area = 11.2465 sq.in. Moment of Inertia about neutral axis Yield Strength 70,000 psi min. = 65.9
Modulus of elasticity E 30x106 psi To determine tensile force for temperature change. Rail changes 0.0000065 of its length per degree. F S = unit stress
.0000065 t =
S 30,000,000

Rail Stress from Temperature Change

For 1F change For 70F change Total Restraining Force F = 70x195 x 11.2465 F = 153,515 lbs S = 30,000,000 x 0.0000065x1 = 195 psi
Yield Point of 115# Rail 70,000 x 1102465 = 787,255 lbs Insulated Joints tested to 600,000 lbs
