| Abstract | This research was part of a larger project, “Quantifying the Effect of Prestressing Steel and Concrete Variables on the Transfer Length in Pretensioned Concrete Crossties,” conducted by Kansas State University (KSU) and sponsored by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). The project’s period of performance was 2011 through 2015. This report highlights advances in understanding the prestressing steel and concrete properties that affect the transfer length (TL) in pretensioned concrete crossties. The full Technical Report can be downloaded from the K-State Research Exchange. |
