Design and performance of pre-stressed concrete railway sleepers containing fibres / Afidah Abu Bakar, Khafilah Din and Mat Som Marwi

The design of railway sleepers must account for irregularities of the train or the rails that generate dynamic loads. The sleepers could develop cracks during a train passage although not influential enough to disturb immediately the global track system. However, these cracks can pose a threat to t...
