Features: This book first introduces the development history of railway tracks, then systematically presents the structural forms and components of ballasted and ballastless tracks, switches, track geometry, stress analysis of track structures, continuous welded rail, and maintenance and repair of tracks. It also discusses track switching, vibration, and noise in urban rail transit, along with introducing new technologies and theories in railway track development in recent years. Additionally, based on the characteristics of urban rail transit, it covers relevant content about urban rail transit track structures. This book can serve as a undergraduate textbook for traffic civil engineering majors focusing on railways and urban rail transit. Depending on content selection, it can also be used as a textbook for vocational colleges, technical schools, and correspondence courses. It is also a valuable reference for engineering professionals.
