Hand Book of transportation Engineering

May 21, 2016

Click here for download : Hand Book of transportation Engineering Transportation systems of regional and national extent are composed of networks of inter- connected facilities and services. It follows that nearly all transportation projects must be analyzed with due consideration for their position within a modal or intermodal network, and for their impacts on network performance. That is, the network context of a transpor- tation project is usually very important. Thus, it is appropriate to begin a volume on trans- portation engineering with a chapter on national transportation networks. The subject of national transportation networks may be approached from at least two different perspectives. One approach, common to most introductory transportation textbooks, describes the physical elements of the various transport modes and their classification into functional subsystems. A second approach focuses on the availability of national transpor- tation network d...

click here for downloading word file: TRACK MAINTENANCE AND construction :CONSTRUCTION OF RAILWAY TRACKS: TRACK MAINTENANCE AND RENEWAL Track maintenance means the total process of maintenance and renewal required to ensure that the track meets safety and quality standards at minimum cost. Annual maintenance on the NS network, with its 4500km of main line tracks, comprises renewal of roughly 140 km of main line, 40km of secondary tracks and sidings, 1000 km of mechanical tamping, 60km of ballast cleaning , 10 km of corrective grinding and renewal of 250 switches. In addition to this track requires spot maintenance on a daily basis. Factors that influence maintenance costs include the following: Following are the factors which the maintenance of tracks. • Track maintenance activities—listed and defined, • Labour and material costs, • Work windows, • Track inspection and maintenance policies, • Operating characteristics, • Budg...

The general direction having been selected by the help of an ordnance map, a sketch-map, or a special reconnaissance survey, the river-crossings are to be examined and decided upon, and the points determined at which the watersheds are to be crossed and the approaches to bridges set out. All routes to be built for the railway network construction must be subject to actual period estimations according to the characteristics of each route’s projec...
