Title: STUDY ON MEASUREMENT OF RAIL LONGITUDINAL FORCE ON SLAB TRACK BY RAIL LIFTING
Abstract: Measurement of rail longitudinal force in tension in winter in continuously welded rail (CWR) is important in order to know the rail neutral temperature and to avoid rail failure in winter and track buckling in summer. The effectiveness of measuring this force by rail lifting in the released section of rail from sleepers, known as the rail lifting method, has been demonstrated experimentally in South America and the UK, and theoretically by the author. Because the application of it is conceived for slab track in Japan, a theoretical analysis is provided in this paper.
