Study on Fatigue Characteristics of Concrete Sleepers with Porous Basalt as the Aggregate

Due to the shortage of local materials, porous basalt was used as the coarse aggregate in the prefabrication of sleepers for the Mombasa-Nairobi Railway in Kenya. To study their fatigue characteristics, the sleepers were measured under fatigue loading for their local strain, overall deformation and...
