The issue of wooden and concrete railway sleepers utilization
Journal Title: Production Engineering Archives - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 4
Abstract
The high degree of degradation of the surface of the existing rail road causes the intensification of the modernization works. Due to modernization of the railway track, damaged parts of trackway are replaced with new ones. It causes waste generation of which a significant part are railway sleepers. The paper pointed the aspects relating to the utilization of railway sleepers made of wood and concrete. The associated environmental impact was also noted. In addition, the selected solutions which increasing the durability of railway sleepers were analysed.
