Series: Deliverable ; 1.4Publication details: uo MAINLINE - MAINtenance, renewal and Improvement of rail transport iNfrastructure to reduce Economic and environmental impacts, 2015Description: 146 sSubject(s): Online resources: Abstract: There are many traditional technologies available to extend the life of elderly rail infrastructure, some of which are being improved or developed, whilst new technologies continue to emerge. In this guideline some of the most promising new or updated technologies are presented for bridges, track and earthwork regarding: ?- Assessment methods. - Repair and Strengthening methods. In an Appendix strengthening methods are presented in more detail with examples of design calculations and work carried out. The guideline is based on work presented in earlier reports in MAINLINE: ML-D1.1 (2013):Benchmark of new technologies to extend the life of elderly rail infrastructure, ML-D1.2 (2013): Assessment methods for elderly rail infrastructure and ML-D1.3 (2014): New technologies to extend the life of elderly infrastructure;There are many traditional technologies available to extend the life of elderly rail infrastructure, some of which are being improved or developed, whilst new technologies continue to emerge.
