| Abstract | This report was prepared as part of an ongoing research effort by the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (UMTA) to develop standard concrete ties for rapid transit use. The report describes laboratory methods for tie fabrication and presents results of tests on ties and fastenings. As a result of the laboratory testing program, preliminary specifications prepared under an earlier contract were modified and presented in a separate report. |
