Special ballastless track systems for attenuation of vibration

Margaritelli Ferroviaria

Special ballastless track systems
for attenuation of vibration
Ballastless system for vibration filtering, compliant with RFI specification DTCSI SF AR 08 002 1
Nominal top of rail height from the top surface of the pavement: 670 mm


Prestressed Concrete Slab:
Compliant with RFI specification DTCSI SF AR 08 002 1
Plan dimensions: 2400 x 4760 mm
Fastening spacing: 600 mm
Vertical, rotational, and transverse adjustment of each rail seat

Reinforced Concrete Additional Mass:
Additional structural mass to achieve the system's natural frequency: f0 ≈ 20 Hz
Plan dimensions: approximately 2500 x 4760 mm


Elastomeric elements:
Closed-cell polyurethane
Between additional mass and pavement
Between additional mass and lateral stoppers

Stoppers:
Internal: between slab and additional mass, made of reinforced concrete
Lateral: ribbed steel plates, anchored to the pavement

Bedding Mortar:
It fills the space between the additional mass and the slab, helping to make them structurally integral.

Reinforced concrete Pavement:
The pavement forms the base of the ballastless track system and distributes the railway loads to the substructure.

Fastening System:
Vossloh 300-1 type. Dynamic Stiffness: k=100 KN/mm
