Due to increasing traffic flows the extension of transport
infrastructure with rail roads and high speed lines is an ongoing
process worldwide. Ballastless track systems with concrete slabs
are used more and more. Following the first trials in the 1970s and
more than four decades of R&D work on ballastless track, the
level of development is such that it can be confirmed that
ballastless track is suitable for use as an alternative to
ballasted track. This book makes a contribution to the state of the
art of ballastless track by describing the basics for designing the
ballastless track. Important advice is provided regarding the
construction of ballastless track on earthworks and in tunnels.
There is also a description of the technical history of the
development of ballastless track on bridges and the ensuing
findings for bridge design. The state of the art of ballastless
track for switches, important information on details concerning
drainage, transitions, accessibility for road vehicles and
experience gleaned from maintenance round off the work. Selected
chapters from the German concrete yearbook are now being published
in the new English "Beton-Kalender Series" for the benefit of an
international audience. Since it was founded in 1906, the Ernst
& Sohn "Beton-Kalender" has been supporting developments in
reinforced and prestressed concrete. The aim was to publish a
yearbook to reflect progress in "ferro-concrete" structures until -
as the book's first editor, Fritz von Emperger (1862-1942),
expressed it - the "tempestuous development" in this form of
construction came to an end. However, the "Beton-Kalender" quickly
became the chosen work of reference for civil and structural
engineers, and apart from the years 1945-1950 has been published
annually ever since.
