Effect of bending and compressive modulus of elasticity on the behaviour of timber-alternative railway sleepers supported by ballast

Alternative railway sleeper technologies for replacement of timber are made of materials possessing a wide range of bending and compressive moduli. This poses a great challenge to railway authorities and engineers in designing a railway track supported by different sleeper technologies. This study e...
