TRAM WAY TRACK ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD OF INSTALLATION Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC E01B21/00 E01C9/06 E01C9/04 E01B2/00 

FIELD: construction, roads.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to construction and arrangement of roads for railway vehicles, particularly tram way tracks. Tram way track arrangement contains rail tracks installed on the carrying substrate at a distance equal to inter-track distance. Rail track of both directions are formed by flat reinforced solid track slabs installed butt end on end. The slabs are provided with two parallel lodgments, which are flush with the upper surface of the concrete body in its upper part. Rails are installed in the inner cavities of lodgments flush with the upper surface of tram way tracks on the elastic backing blocks. The rails are butt welded and fixed in lodgments with the strained elastic fixing elements. Inter-track space is formed by flat reinforced solid inter-track slabs. The upper surfaces of track slabs and inter-track slabs are in the same plane. Track slabs and inter-track slabs are fixed in the design position on carrying substrate and between each other. Filler is located between slabs in corresponding gaps. The slabs are impregnated with corrosion-proof material.

EFFECT: reduced vibration loads to rails and increased noise suppression, simplified mounting and dismantling of rail way track.
