Full-Scale Field Experimental Investigation on the Intended Irregularity of CWR Track in Vertical Plane

The purpose of the following paper is to present the author’s experimental field investigations of a jointless railway track subjected to a generated imperfection and analysis of track response to applied static loads. An optical measurement system, Pontos, was used for the static and dynamic analys...
