Abstract

The demand of concrete material is increasing for applications in railway construction such asrailway concrete sleepers, concrete track slabs, viaducts, etc. especially for the expansions of metro,light-rail and urban railway systems, due to their improved multi-functional performance as well asthe reduced lifetime cost and carbon footprint compared to the timber or other materials. However,the premature deterioration of concrete sleepers and track slabs (e.g., shear key) under high impactloading and excessive vibration is the major issue that jeopardizes the safety and durability; and thenincreases the lifecycle cost of concrete sleepers and track slabs.
