## ## Measurements have shown that rail stiffness and damping can vary within ## wide ranges. Following table shows the vertical static tangential ## stiffness measured at a wheel load of 95 kN under different conditions: ## ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## ## \ Track: Unfrozen Frozen ## Sleepers: \ ------------------------------------------- ## Wooden | 50- 60 kN/mm 60-105 kN/mm ## Concrete | 120-280 kN/mm 190-525 kN/mm ## ## ## Measurements above have been carried out on a track without extra pads in ## the rail fasteners. As an average value for the most normal conditions ## the following values are recommended for the substructures wr_coupl_n* ## -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## ## Lateral stiffness and damping between track and ground, ## coupl p_lin kytgp_ 0 30e6 coupl p_lin cytgp_ 0 173e3 if_then_char_init Sleepers .eq.
