Laying railway track with reinforced concrete slabs - using slab length vertical steel strips with connecting rods through them

摘要

The system is for level laying of railway track rails with prefabricated reinforced-concrete slabs comprised by steel pieces at the slab edges on the rail side. The steel pieces are upright flat strips (5), extending over the whole slab length, with connecting rods (6) running in the concrete determining their mutual interval. The ends of the latter pass through the steel strips, and are screwed to the rails (1), with fixing elements (7, 8, 9) providing sufficient interval from the adjacent rail. The fixing elements may have holes for screwing to the rail stem (10), and upward open slits for the slabs' (2, 3) connecting rod ends. Track is easily and inexpensively produced and installed, and requires little maintenance.
