INTRODUCTION i)Increased transportation capacity due to growth in economy ii)Strategies adopted by IR to meet the demand iii)Need for 30 tones axle load corridors iv)Routes identified for 30 t axle load freight corridors.

DESIGN PARAMETERS FOR 30 T AXLE LOAD. The track is divided into following distinct components. i)Rail ii)Sleepers iii)Fastenings iv)Ballast v)Formation

RAILS i)Very costly component:: - about 40% of entire track cost ii)Most significant bearing on load carrying capacity and safety. iii)Introduction of new technologies – high strength rail, modified rail / wheel profiles, improved lubrications practices, improved rail maintenance- rail grinding, improved bogie type like radial bogies. New technologies – have made it possible to increase the permitted rail stresses.

RAIL LOADING i)Design vertical wheel load – expressed as function of static wheel load – P design = Ø x P static Ø=Dimension less impact factor ii)Assessment of impact factor- Train speed Wheel diameter Vehicle unsprung mass Track condition (including track modules, Track geometry, joints condition) Track construction Vehicle condition

IMPACT FACTOR Contd.. α’ – f ( vertical track irregularities, vehicle suspension, vehicle speed) β’ - f ( vehicle speed super elevation deficiency of the track, location of centre of gravity of the vehicle) γ’ - f( vehicle speed, track condition e.g. age, hanging sleepers, vehicle design and maintenance

RAIL DESIGN Location of maximum rail stress Location B,C,D & E – Critical stresses are either longitudinal or vertical A – Shear stress due to wheel/rail contact.

ALLOWABLE RAIL BENDING STRESS AREA general approach based on yield DB approach strength of the Rail material Australian approach - fatigue tests at MRL - based on UTS of rail material times UTS - independent of residual and temperature stresses. On IR, for LWR track the allowable bending stresses taken as about 0.29 times UTS. This is quite conservative as compared to the results obtained by MRL.

CONCLUSION: For meeting the demand of ever increasing freight traffic, Indian Railway need to go for dedicated freight corridor with 30 T or more axle loads.

The 30 T axle load routes should be designed as a system based on the principles of life cycle costing. The track and rolling stock engineers have to synergize their strategies to arrive at most optimal design of track and rolling stock as the design requirements are conflicting.

Since, the heavy axle routes will be dedicated freight corridors, we should be liberal in adopting the permissible values for rail bending stresses. As per the recent research in Australia and other countries where heavy haul operation is order of the day, it has been established that the permitted bending stresses can be taken as 0.4 times the tensile strength of rail steel.

The rail and sleepers have been designed by adopting the current practices on Indian Railway. The rail section 140 RE (AREA) weighing kg/m has been found suitable with modified sleeper weighing 366 kg.
