Title: EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS OBTAINED ON THE LATERAL PROBLEMS OF THE LONG WELDED RAIL CONTINUOUSLY LAID ON SEVERAL SPANS OF THE BRIDGE WITHOUT BALLAST
Abstract: To show the lateral stability of continuous welded rail on a bridge, and the character of the lateral load to the bridge as a result of such rail, a test was conducted by the JNR on an actual bridge. The data resulting from this test shows that even though there were no problems resulting from unballasted rail on a bridge, the lateral forces between rail and sleepers varies and may reach a value which is ten times the calculated value. The phenomena is a result of continuous rail laid on a bridge resulting from the high lateral elastic coefficient of the rail supporting system.
