Concrete crosstie
Abstract:
A monoblock concrete crosstie for railway tracks that achieves a high performance in operation includes a steel structure that is formed from ultra-resistant high strength steel plates embedded in a concrete element and having pre-stressed cold rolled wires with ends that form button head knots which are anchored to the steel plates. The crosstie includes rail seats with a convex channeled formation that is mateable with an extending member of a faceplate wherein the railseat has a width less than the width of the faceplate, and a center of the face plate has a first distance from a center of the concrete element and a center of the rails seat has a second distance from the center of the concrete element, the first distance greater than the second distance.
