Embankment Support for a Railroad Test Track Construction Report.

摘要

The report discusses the construction of three non-conventional railroad track support structures. These structures are part of a program to develop practical,low maintenance,high quality track structures for conventional and advanced rail vehicles. The design of these test structures is discussed in a separate report, 'The Kansas Test Track,Non-Conventional Track Structures--Design Report'. The report documents the construction phase of the Kansas Test Track. It includes drawings,field test data on the embankment and details of instrumentation. The information provided on instrumentation outlines the system configuration,components,shop drawings,installation details and calibration data. The field data obtained on the embankment during construction are summarized and interpreted. (Author)
