DETERMINATION OF THE TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS FOR LAYING AND EXPLOITATION OF CONTINUOUS WELDED RAIL
The article proposes a method of recasting the railway rails exposed to hijacking during the exploitation of the pathways. The estimation of conditions for laying and fixing railway rails in the optimal temperature range are provided. Experimental forced entry of railway rails into the optimal temperature of the fixation was performed. A two-stages method for recasting railway rails, exposed to hijacking and laid in winter conditions has been developed. The method allows to determine the actual fixing temperature and ensure accurate entry into the optimal temperature of fixing, taking into account the exploitation of this section of the pathways.
