Not showing up for work

W

o r k badges a r e being scanned at the self-checkout lines.

Now more than ever, egged on by the worst pandemic of our lifetime, people are taking the miles off of their cars and situating themselves in the warmth of their own home for a career where they are the boss.

People are checking out when it comes to being a traditional employee.

This Great Resignation has taken up great space in my mind since it began a few months ago. I just can’t figure out how people pull it off. At first I thought it was all government funded. People were quitting their jobs and sitting on stimulus checks for what I thought was just a break, not a break up, from the office cubicles. The money stopped, and the rate of resignations still held strong. Now I am reading that people are “seeking a better life” and going out on their own to become the HR supervisor, trainer, IT tech, CFO, and CEO. It can all be described in one word on a business card ... owner.

How is it better when it comes to health insurance and other benefits? How is it better to compete by yourself out in the market? How is it better in terms of financial stability?

I know there are answers for all of the questions, and some may be beneficial for the work owners, but there is lumber to cut.

The sawmills are in the midst of a Great Generation loss, and I do not see the bloodline returning with a stronger pulse. For decades the sawmill industry has relied on families for employment. Those father’s fathers, fathers, and uncles were the best when it came to keeping the saws spinning.

However, those linked to similar DNA are now taking a similar way out ... to another

career. Workers who are coming in are no longer matching the ones going out. In fact, they have not for a long time, but the pace of replacement is in serious crisis. Trade schools have been opened, and then have quickly shuttered because the idea of pushing wood just does not come with enough flash.

The work shortage also is hitting the short line industry for the first time in decades, probably due to the same reasons as the sawmill sector.

The big question is: Will the workers ever come back? Well, if they have not come around by now I do not think they will ever take up a spot on the assembly line. Think about the ones who have ditched the hard labor profession talking to the future generation about a decade from now. Somehow I doubt the conversation will go like this, “Son, your dad made a terrible mistake leaving the sawmill world. Now, do what your father’s father father and father’s father did and take the family back into wood working.”

Robotic technology could be part of the answer. Unions have kept the idea of the circuit takeover from taking off, but in about two decades the idea of unions could indeed be extinct in certain segments. The other alternative is more immigrant help. Sawmill owners have indeed changed the landscape, making it all about the worker instead of the work.

That is a great starting point, and more should follow suit, but society is the main opponent here, and its knockout record is pretty good.

Don’t ask me who is going to maintain the ring in all of this. That would require some hard work.

BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION

BEFORE ALL THE REST BNSF makes rail bridge longer to accommodate Illinois Tollway construction

B

NSF Bridge 16.01 is being replaced by the Illinois Tollway to allow for reconstruction and widening of the Tri-State Tollway (I-294). The bridge is located approximately 16 miles southwest of downtown Chicago and carries three tracks over I-294. As shown in Figure 1, the bridge is situated on a highly constrained site between two densely developed municipalities, with public parks and a public works facility surrounding the bridge on all quadrants, and a creek meandering through the site.

Two Metra commuter rail stations also

4 RT&S Track Buyer’s Guide // 2022

exist within the project limits: the Highlands Station within 1,300 ft to the west and the Western Springs Station within 2,800 ft to the east.

The bridge exists at the crossing of two critical high-traffic transportation corridors. Interstate-294 is a regional corridor important to the Chicago metropolitan area as well as adjacent states for providing a beltway alternate route around the city of Chicago. At the bridge average daily traffic is nearly 200,000 vehicles.

The bridge supports three mainline tracks on BNSF’s Chicago Subdivision and is part of BNSF’s Great Northern Corridor

Transcontinental freight route. In addition to freight traffic, Metra’s busiest line operates across the bridge carrying an annual ridership of approximately 16 million passengers. Multiple Amtrak routes also cross the bridge, including the California Zephyr, the Southwest Chief, and Illinois Service. Combining freight and passenger traffic, the bridge carries over 140 trains per day.

BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION

The original bridge was a two-span deck plate girder (DPG) bridge with a center pier in the median between each direction of travel, a 65 ft 3 in. length for each span, and a construction depth of 5.33 ft from top-of-rail to low steel. The proposed span length is increased to 106 ft 6 in. to provide the needed roadway width. It was not practical to add additional piers or eliminate the existing center pier, resulting in the new bridge maintaining a two-span configuration.

The need to significantly lengthen each bridge span resulted in a need to consider either a deeper construction depth for a DPG superstructure or changing the superstructure type to a through plate girder (TPG) system.

Getting a raise In evaluating the options between spreading the existing 13-ft track center spacing to accommodate a change to a TPG structure type versus raising the track profile to allow for deeper girders necessary for a lengthened DPG-type structure, BNSF determined that a track profile raise was the preferred alternative. The addition of horizontal reverse curves to shift track centers at the permanent bridge would have increased track lifecycle maintenance costs undesirably. Additionally, the DPG structure type was preferred to avoid the fracture-critical limitations of a TPG structure, as well as the additional maintenance costs associated with track maintenance work in constrained space between the girders.

With the existing bridge lying within improvements as part of Illinois Tollway’s $4 billion corridor program to reconstruct and widen the central Tri-State Tollway.

The existing bridge was constructed by the Illinois Tollway in 1958 as part of the original Tri-State Tollway construction.

The original two-span bridge total length was approximately 133 ft. The new bridge is lengthened to 218 ft to provide adequate width for full shoulders, maintenance of traffic for staged highway reconstruction, and potential future transit accommodation. The new bridge will be four tracks wide, adding a Maintenance-of-Way setout track to the three main tracks.

In addition to increasing the horizontal opening beneath the bridge, the new bridge also will provide vertical clearance improvements and will add sacrificial beams meeting current BNSF guidelines.

a small sag vertical curve, initial design efforts attempted to limit the profile raise to an amount that would have only reduced the sag and not introduced a new crest. Ultimately, a larger track raise of approximately 4 ft was required to accommodate the increased structure construction depth and highway vertical clearance improvements. However, the existing sag still helped to reduce the height of the new crest. BNSF reviewed the new profile and determined that train-handling effects of the new crest would be acceptable.

A 74-in.-deep web plate girder with 3-in.-thick by 24-in.-wide f langes spaced at 3.5 ft was used. The section was optimized with a construction depth to 9.25 ft from top-of-rail to low steel while providing a minimum 18-in. clearance between f langes. Inspection platforms were requested by BNSF between all girders.

The diaphragms were composed of top and bottom channels with an opening for inspector access between them. The platforms were supported from the intermediate stiffeners using angles. In addition, access to each platform between girders was provided by a set-back of the abutment seat providing a pathway for inspectors without hazardous use of a bucket truck on the shoulder of the highway, as shown in Figure 3.

From the top down With the goal of minimizing the span length and construction depth, traditional high-wall abutments were desired but not feasible. An excavation of nearly 30 ft adjacent to live tracks would have been

adjacent utilities. Another alternative was pile-supported stub abutments, but this would have required undesirable

permanent ground anchors. The selected solution was top-down construction utilizing closely spaced drilled shafts.

This method minimized excavation and shoring required adjacent to active tracks to construct the abutment cap.

Once the bridge was installed, excavation in front of the new bridge abutment could proceed similar to soldier pile construction. The drilled shafts were then faced with concrete, allowing the system to retain the earth behaving like a retaining wall. Six-ft-diam. drilled shafts were required to meet design loads, and permanent casing was used due to existing soils. Shafts were 60 ft deep, extending to bedrock.

Near constant traffic During morning and evening commute periods, Metra trains operate on all three tracks, with the outer tracks used for directional traffic and the center track used for express trains overtaking local trains.

BNSF freight traffic is generally held west of the Metra service limits during the commute periods, then progresses through this location during overnight hours and in the short mid-day window between commute periods. The result of this rail traffic pattern is near constant traffic, with very few long gaps between trains. To meet BNSF requirements for maintenance of this rail traffic, a three-track shoofly was necessary.

Shoof ly alignments to the north, south, and split relative to the existing tracks were considered. A split shoof ly, i.e., one or more shoof ly tracks to one side and the balance to the other, was not compatible with safety requirements to avoid construction between active tracks. The

BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION

proximity of Flagg Creek along BNSF’s ROW on the north side added significant complications to a northern shoof ly option. A southern shoof ly option was ultimately selected, and the shoof ly design was just able to avoid impact to the Metra Highlands Station platforms. Shoof ly usage was planned for an extended duration of approximately one year while the existing bridge was demolished, the embankment raised, and the new bridge and track completed. Track speeds required for the temporary shoof ly tracks were 45 mph for freight operations and 70 mph for passenger operations.

Figure 4 shows a train on Shoof ly Track 2 from the Highlands Metra Station platform during construction before Shoof ly Track 1 was constructed.

A shorter temporary span length optimized to clear the existing abutment foundations, while also providing a construction access corridor through the bridge during later construction stages, was desired for the shoof ly bridge.

Another consideration was that BNSF required construction of a permanent fourth track bay of under the terms of the original 1950s Construction and Maintenance agreement between BNSF and the Illinois Tollway.

Accordingly, the northernmost bay of the three-track shoof ly bridge was constructed matching the proposed permanent bridge configuration, and a shorter span length was used for only the two southern shoof ly bays.

The temporary abutment cap was founded on piles, and lagging installed between piles to act as a retaining wall. A dead man was used to resist the lateral loads acting on the abutment, and threaded rods through the abutment cap engaged the dead man. The wingwalls consisted of sheet piles and also were tied to each other with temporary tiebacks creating a bin wall, and the space filled with granular material.

This system minimized the span length of the temporary structures and allowed removal of the temporary sheet piling and granular material. Piles will be cut off below finished ground elevation. Figure 5 shows the constructed shoof ly bridge arrangement.

With the constrained site dimensions and access limitations, combined with the magnitude of work required, it would not be feasible or efficient for Tollway contractor forces and BNSF forces to work on the site concurrently. With multiple stages of bridge, embankment, and track construction, this would require multiple transfers of site control between Tollway contractor forces and BNSF forces, potentially increasing risks of construction delays and associated costs.

Extensive coordination was conducted with BNSF to identify and validate construction access and laydown space needs for equipment and materials to be used by BNSF forces in the track construction, as well as contractor forces in the bridge and embankment construction. This included the planning of access ramps from the highway level to the track level in all four quadrants for all construction stages, and the planning of adequate storage areas for all construction stages. Substantial embankment widening was needed in select areas to provide adequate space at track level to allow for

pre-assembly of turnouts to minimize track outage durations. BNSF planned to construct both the shoof ly tracks and permanent tracks utilizing a Track Laying Machine (TLM), which minimized space needed on-site for track panel construction but required the insertion of temporary turnouts into the main tracks to allow for launching the TLM to construct new track segments.

With track work to be performed by BNSF forces during two distinct stages of construction (shoof ly construction and final track construction), extensive coordination was necessary with BNSF to confirm lead times, production times, anticipated cut-over outage availability, and other details to ensure Tollway bidding documents contained both necessary control mechanisms to ensure the site would be ready and available when needed by BNSF forces, as well as adequate information for bidders to properly asses schedule requirements, delay risks, and resulting pricing needs.

TLM added significant complexity to these planning efforts. The TLM is a highly specialized machine with a large, dedicated crew and substantial mobilization costs. BNSF moves a TLM across

BNSF’s network to work areas in a logical pattern that is scheduled over a year in advance. Re-routing the TLM in the event of a delay in bridge or embankment construction work would not be feasible,

and delays to the entire TLM crew would be incurred. This meant that the timing for track construction needed to be scheduled in advance of the construction letting, and that there would be significant financial penalties associated with any delays to the scheduled onset of track construction.

Conversely, there was schedule risk that the TLM could potentially be delayed by other unanticipated work on BNSF’s system, such as a f lood washout or other disaster, which would in turn cause delays to the contractor beginning subsequent bridge and embankment construction phases.

The construction contract included contractual grade-ready milestone dates along with penalty costs related to TLM delay costs to incentivize the contractor to maintain the planned schedule.

Available f loat time was included in the project schedule as practical to mitigate for unforeseen issues, however the volume of contractor and BNSF force account work limited the amount of f loat

available without adding an additional year to the overall construction schedule, which would have significantly impacted the nearly 200,000 vehicles per day using the highway.

Extensive coordination The final cutovers to the new bridge were scheduled to be completed by BNSF forces in December 2021. Replacement of BNSF Bridge 16.01 involved many complex site challenges related to the rail and highway traffic volumes crossing the bridge location along with the project site constraints presented by adjacent development and land use.

To successfully address these challenges, the design engineering team conducted extensive coordination with the BNSF railroad, adjacent landowners, and other significant project stakeholders to identify and evaluate the challenges. This coordination was achieved through periodic meetings with all affected stakeholders, including 30 design coordination meetings with BNSF and over 30 meetings with adjacent

TRACK MAINTENANCE

Figure 1. Spike failure-related derailment images and typical broken spikes found in track after walking inspection tapping and pulling each spike

MADE ELASTIC Broken spikes created by elastic fastening systems he Rail Transportation and Engineering Center (RailTEC) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Illinois) has continued a comprehensive investigation into timber crosstie spike fastener fatigue failures. As documented in the July 2019 RT&S article “Spiked!”, these spike failures are primarily found in track constructed with elastic fasteners and located in high-degree curves with grades (Figure 1 above). These failures have caused at least 10 recent mainline derailments, including oil train derailments in 2014 and 2016 and an Amtrak derailment in 2009.

RailTEC continued its investigation to isolate the root cause of these spike failures and to develop and test mitigation measures, with sponsorship from the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and support from the Volpe Center and AAR/TTCI. Activities included: 1. Field experiments with Norfolk Southern to quantify the load environment 10 RT&S Track Buyer’s Guide // 2022

and train operational characteristics at a track location with a history of spike failures; 2. Laboratory experiments and finite element modeling (FEM) to identify fastening system and crosstie characteristics that reduce spike stresses and failures; and 3. Testing at the Transportation Technology Center (TTC) to demonstrate the performance of spring washers to improve plate-to-crosstie contact that reduce spike failure.

The research data and analysis reveal that these spikes are failing due to fatigue from longitudinal loads transferred to the spikes through the elastic fastening system. This longitudinal load is in addition to the lateral load carried by the spikes and is made worse due to the loss of friction between the plate and crosstie from uplift forces ahead of loaded wheels (Figure 2).

This plate-to-tie friction is critical to

the load-carrying capacity of the elastic fastening system. Elastic fasteners clamp the rail to the tie plate and spikes clamp the tie plate to the crosstie. Vertical rail uplift forces ahead of and behind loaded wheels can degrade spike clamping performance, resulting in plate uplift (loss of friction), excessive spike loads, and eventual spike fatigue failure. Timber crosstie strength also inf luences spike stress. Timber crossties are approximately 10 times weaker across the grain (i.e., longitudinal load direction) than with the grain (i.e., lateral load direction). When the timber crushes, the spike stress increases.

RailTEC identified and tested methods to reduce spike stresses and eliminate or reduce spike fatigue failures. This work yielded effective strategies that railroads can implement to improve operational safety and increase track resilience: • Train operations: Operate at or near balanced speed or re-balance the curve to match train speeds and employ distributed power to maintain vertical loads on

A problem with the curve Trains operating above or below track balanced speed can increase spike loads and spike failure rates. Underbalance operations tend to unload the high rail in a curve, reducing plate-to-tie friction.

Working with Norfolk Southern, RailTEC instrumented track to quantify the vertical, lateral, and longitudinal loads on Tracks 1 and 3 in the full body of a 9.2° (623-ft [190-m] radius) curve located near Altoona, Pa. At the time of the test (July 2019), the curve supported three timber tie tracks employing elastic fasteners with cut spikes. Figure 3 describes the test location and instrumentation.

This curve is located on a 1.76% grade.

Loaded freight trains primarily operate downhill on Tracks 1 and 2, while empty trains run uphill on Track 3. Tracks 1 and 3 each accrue approximately 50 MGT annually. Spike fatigue failures are frequently observed along the high rail of Track 3, but infrequently on Track 1.

Measurements of rail forces during train passes between the two tracks revealed significantly different loading conditions.

Data revealed underbalance speed train operation on Track 3, reducing the vertical rail load on the high rail and thus reducing plate-to-tie friction. Track 1 operations are near balance speed, resulting in more even loads between low and high rails (Figure 4, left). Combining

Figure 2. Examples of plate-to-tie uplift and of damaged spike. these field data with modeling failure thresholds (Figure 4, right) illustrates the impact of unbalanced operation on spike failures.

The two lines represent the modeled spike failure thresholds for Track 1 (blue) and Track 3 (red) based on a combined lateral and longitudinal loading condition. The data points are field data from Track 1 (blue) and Track 3 (red). The points represent the 50th, 90th, 95th, and 99th percentile lateral and longitudinal field loading data. All Track 1 data are contained within the boundaries of the blue line—indicating that forces are below the failure threshold. Meanwhile, some Track 3 high rail datapoints extend beyond the boundaries of the red line—forces exceed the failure threshold.

The unbalanced operating condition on Track 3 unloads the high rail, reducing

the plate-to-tie friction and transferring excessive loads to the spikes.

Trains operating uphill on Track 3 are normally configured with multiple locomotives at the head end. RailTEC analyzed the effect of multiple locomotives, with all axles operative and providing tractive effort. The superposition of wheel forces from the locomotives has a cumulative effect on the longitudinal rail seat loads, and the modeling results show that the peak load is between adjacent powered locomotives (Figure 5, left). This superposition is reduced or eliminated when locomotives are separated within the train consist. The longitudinal rail seat load is reduced by 40% when locomotives are separated by just one unpowered railcar (Figure 5, right). RailTEC plans to validate these results with future field data.

Figure 4. Median vertical rail seat load data (left). The effect of train balance speed on spike loads and failure thresholds (right). cut spike elastic fastening system and an elastic system employing screw spikes and spring washers.

The test was conducted in a track section with a history of spike failures and consisted of a 20-tie control zone with cut spike fastening systems adjacent to a 30-tie test zone with a screw spike/ spring washer system (Figure 7). The test accumulated 170 MGT under FAST train loading.

TTCI conducted periodic visual inspections to document the performance of the fastening systems, the results of which are displayed in Table 2.

The control zone accumulated six broken spikes during the test, while the test zone had none. The control zone showed evidence of plate movement, spike uplift, and crosstie skew. The test zone had no indication of plate movement and had minimal crosstie skewing. There was very minor spring washer loosening in three locations after 60 MGT and additional loosening after 170 MGT, indicating the likely need for periodic fastening system maintenance. These results confirm the positive effect of plate-to-tie friction in reducing spike stresses.

Reducing the strain Timber crossties are mechanically stronger in the lateral direction (i.e., along the wood grain) than in the longitudinal direction (i.e., across the grain). Spike loads can crush wood fibers around the spike holes, enlarging the holes and reducing spike support. RailTEC research shows engineered composite crossties are up to six times stronger than timber crossties in supporting longitudinal loads. An engineered composite crosstie with targeted, isotropic compressive strength properties can improve the load-carrying capacity of the crosstie and maintain good support for the spikes.

RailTEC performed laboratory experiments with instrumented spikes and modeling to study an engineered, glass fiber reinforced composite (GFRC) crosstie with isotropic compressive strength properties. The experimental data show a 30% reduction in spike strain at critical depths compared to the same test with a timber crosstie (Figure 8). In addition, fatigue testing, with 2,200-lb longitudinal loads and up to 5.5 million cycles, resulted in multiple spike failures in timber crossties and no failures in the GFRC crossties.

Figure 5. Modeling of longitudinal rail seat loads with adjacent locomotives (left) and separated locomotives (right).

The hold-down force Fastening system design also plays a role in spike failures. Research results from field tests, laboratory experiments, and modeling show that spike stresses are significantly reduced when there is friction between the tie plate and the crosstie.

Figure 6 illustrates the importance of the plate-to-tie hold-down force in reducing spike stresses. The left graphic shows the model data comparing the relative impact of hold-down force on spike stress in a four-spike plate arrangement loaded to 2,500 lb. Spike stresses are much higher with zero hold-down force and much lower with 4,000 lb of hold-down force.

Stress levels did not change appreciably with higher hold-down force. Laboratory test data confirm the modeling results and the inf luence of vertical load (Figure 6, right). The hold-down force ensures that plate-to-tie friction is helping the fastening system carry the train loads.

This friction can reduce spike stresses by up to 80%.

With assistance from TTCI, RailTEC completed a field test at the Facility for Accelerated Service Testing (FAST) at TTC to compare the performance of a

TRACK MAINTENANCE

These data indicate that a carefully engineered composite crosstie provides better support for the spikes and may reduce the chances of spike failures in track.

Conclusions Spike fastener fatigue failures in elastic fastening systems pose a risk to rail safety.

RailTEC research identified the root cause of spike failures and explored ways to mitigate spike failures by reducing the loads carried by spikes. The rail industry can employ several practical mitigation methods to improve the safety and reliability of elastic fastening systems in timber crosstie track. Our suggestions include: • Operate trains at, or near, the balanced speed of track to eliminate plate unloading, loss of plate-to-tie friction, and the resulting high stress on spikes. Or ensure curves are properly balanced for predominant train operations; • Avoid superposition of longitudinal rail seat forces by distributing locomotive tractive effort throughout the train.

A single, unpowered buffer car placed between two locomotives at the head end of a train can reduce longitudinal fastener loads by 40%; • Maintain plate-clamping forces with improved components. RailTEC data shows even a relatively small plate-tocrosstie hold-down force can reduce spike forces up to 80%; and • Consider engineered composite crossties for track segments prone to broken spikes. Crossties with a compressive strength of at least 2,225 psi can reduce spike strains by up to 30%.

THE ISSUE AS A

HOLE

Taking a closer look at the process of inducing residual compressive stresses around the bolt hole

A

leading cause of train derailment is cracking of the rail head at bolted joints. Cracks in holes of the bolted joints are caused by fatigue damage from the repetitive loading from the rolling stock.

These are typically star cracks emanating from the bolt hole of the rail section and can result in a triangular break at the joint. One such derailment occurred on Jan.13, 2015, by a Canadian Pacific Railway freight train. Although the crew had only minor injuries, there was a significant spill of f lammable gas. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada determined that the derailment was caused in large part by the failure of an insulated joint with multiple cracks propagating from the bolt holes.1 16 RT&S Track Buyer’s Guide // 2022

Determining ways to increase the fatigue life of these joints and thereby reducing the possibility of derailment has been an ongoing subject of study. In the case of the Canadian Pacific Railway derailment in 2015, split sleeve cold expansion was mentioned as a method to reduce the potential for bolt hole cracks to develop.1 An accepted method to increase fatigue life at holes in rail is to induce residual compressive stresses around the hole. Though there are several methods to create these residual stresses, this article will discuss only two: split sleeve cold expansion and chamfer coining. The question then is which method is better in preventing bolted rail joint failure.

The U.S. DOT conducted a joint study

with Boeing to evaluate the efficacy of both methods. The results showed that while both methods improve fatigue life performance, the split sleeve process was better in typical rail thicknesses. 2 The final field report showed that rail bolt holes treated with the split sleeve cold expansion process experience a “significantly lower bolt-hole failure rate than untreated rail” with an estimated reduction in the failure rate to be 1:6. 3 Induced labor A collaborative research team from Washington State University, Fatigue Technology, and Hird Rail Development came together to evaluate induced residual stresses in rail holes for both finite element (FE) simulations and fatigue

experiments. The testing paralleled the simulation study for both crack initiation and crack propagation (growth). R260 grade rail steel and a UIC60 rail profile was used as the basis of evaluation. Holes prepared with split sleeve cold expansion and chamfer coining were compared to as-drilled baseline open rail holes.

The test parts were manufactured by drilling holes with a brand-new drill bit to 1.18 in. in the center of the rail web.

Two groups of parts were processed to induce residual stresses at the holes.

The split sleeve cold expansion process is accomplished by pulling a tapered mandrel through a lubricated split sleeve, pre-fitted to the hole. The mandrel diameter plus the sleeve thickness is larger than the hole, so after the mandrel is pulled through the hole, the entire hole bore is shielded by residual compressive stresses. The final hole size of the coldexpanded holes was approximately 1.20 in. Chamfer coining (or radius coining) was carried out by forcibly inserting an indenter into the rail hole. The sharp edges of the machined hole are rounded with the process producing a localized residual compressive stress just around the hole edges where cracks tend to start.

The rail section holes were completely processed prior to machining the specimens from the rail sections.

Test specimens were cut from the rail profile with the holes approximately centered in the 3.5 in. width. The thickness at the edges were machined down to create a rectangular section of 0.65 in.; the area next to the holes were not machined. The laboratory test included using constant amplitude fatigue testing at three stresses (net test area stress of 44.9 ksi, 39.9 ksi, and 35 ksi) with a stress ratio (R) of +0.1 and frequency of 5 Hz. Crack measurements were recorded regularly throughout testing using an optical microscope attached to the test frame. The FE simulations used the two lower stresses for the crack initiation study and the middle stress (39.9 ksi) for the crack propagation simulation study.

Finite element (FE) simulations Numerical modeling of the split sleeve cold expansion and chamfer coining processes was carried out using the Abaqus/CAE package. The stress-strain curve of the specimen was acquired through tensile testing and the information gained from these tests was used

Figure 1. Residual compressive stress for split sleeve cold expansion (left) to chamfer coining (right). in the modeling (Young modulus of 29,007.5 ksi, yield strength of 70.5 ksi, and Poisson ratio of 0.3).

Figure 1 depicts the plot of the residual compressive hoop stress field for the split sleeve cold expansion and chamfer coining processed rail hole models. The split sleeve cold expansion process imparts deep compressive residual stress (approximately 58.02 ksi) that covers the entire hole bore and extends up to approximately 0.35 in. in the radial direction from the hole bore.

The chamfer coining process results in isolated regions of compressive residual stress only at the top and bottom hole edges with a relatively lower amount (approximately 43.51 ksi).

Residual stress and strain data of split sleeve cold expansion and chamfer coining processed models were then mapped to the fatigue specimen models so that plastic strain amplitudes could be computed of pre-defined initial crack elements under the maximum and minimum fatigue load conditions.

Finite crack initiation results Crack initiation is defined as the development of an initial f law from which a crack may grow under cyclic loading.

Although the initial crack size is difficult to assess and may be beyond the detectability limits of the existing non-destructive inspection (NDI) techniques, many studies used crack initiation size ranging from 984 µinch to 0.039 in. For this

evaluation, the initial crack geometry was 0.02 in. or 0.04 in. The FE analysis modeled the specimen and rail hole to be as close as possible to rail hole preparation practices. This included incorporating the rail hole edge’s burr and surface roughness which were directly measured from the test specimens.

When it comes to the fatigue crack initiation FE simulation results under two different max fatigue stress conditions, both FE simulation and fatigue testing results agree that the rail hole cold-working processes result in fatigue crack initiation cycle improvement over baseline, regardless of the loading condition. The FE simulation results showed that, under the maximum fatigue stress of 25.2 ksi, crack initiation cycles are extended by approximately 4% and 27% for split sleeve cold expansion and chamfer coining processed holes, respectively. Although the crack size initially detected from the tests varies from 0.019 in. to 0.037 in. under the 25.2-ksi condition, it is experimentally confirmed as 72% and 157% improvement by split sleeve cold expansion and chamfer coining processes, respectively. Under the 22.1-ksi condition, the delay of initial crack appearance is more apparent. Note that the split sleeve cold expansion processed hole did not fail until approximately 5 million cycles, while a 0.104in. crack was observed at 314,064 cycles from the baseline hole. At the same time, a 0.104-in. initial crack was obtained RT&S Track Buyer’s Guide // 2022 17

from the chamfer coining processed hole at 550,449 cycles. The crack initiation FE simulation results of the 22.1-ksi condition did not agree well with the fatigue test results. There is room for improvement on the FE strain computations as well as the material constants to address the rail material and hole geometry, applied explicitly to the study.

Fatigue crack propogation results For crack propagation FE simulations, the extended finite element (XFEM) method was used. The XFEM provides a stress intensity factor. This is used with the Paris law to iteratively grow the crack and establish the crack shape. The XFEM crack growth simulation process needed to be repeated until the maximum stress intensity factor reaches the rail material’s fracture toughness (KIC) of 44.96 ksiin to cause rapid and unlimited crack growth. For XFEM crack growth simulations, only one loading condition at the maximum cyclic stress of 25.2 ksi and stress ratio of +0.1 was used. The initial

crack size determined for the baseline hole was 0.02 in. with a quarter elliptical crack shape.

According to FE simulations, the baseline specimen was estimated to fail at the crack propagation cycles of 18,000 after the initial corner crack of 0.020 in. was formed. This simulation result agreed well with the fatigue experimental result of 24,827 cycles. FE simulation results showed the crack growth rate became much slower for the split sleeve cold expansion processed hole when compared with the baseline hole.

Total estimated cycles from crack initiation to failure of the split sleeve cold expansion processed hole in FE simulations was 102,000 cycles, which was over a four-time increase from those of the baseline results. This is due to relatively deep compressive residual stresses up to approximately 0.350 in. from the hole bore. For the split sleeve cold expansion process, the deep zone of residual compression allows the crack to grow longer before reaching its critical length.

The other two configurations tested had a shorter final crack size observed on only one corner of the hole before failure.

This can be very critical for maintenance by providing more inspection opportunities and the crack may be more detectable. The FE simulation results also were confirmed with the fatigue experiments, which resulted in 100,983 cycles as the crack propagation cycles after 0.02-in. crack initiation. When compared with the split sleeve cold expansion process, the chamfer coining process did not improve crack propagation cycles significantly. The chamfer coining processed hole shows a similar crack propagation pattern with the baseline hole. The growth rates are almost identical for both the width and thickness directions.

This may be due to there being no residual stresses in the middle of the chamfer coining processed hole bore. Crack propagation cycles were estimated as 35,000 cycles from the FE simulation, while crack propagation cycles of 26,828 cycles were obtained from the fatigue test. The

test results are shown in Figure 2.

The FE crack propagation simulation results agree well with the fatigue experimental results having the errors ranging from 1% to 86% (0.1% to 6.1% in the log scale). Fatigue experiments confirm the relatively fast crack growth for both baseline and chamfer coining processed holes when compared with the split sleeve cold expansion processed hole. XFEM simulations underestimate crack growth for baseline, while the crack growth simulation results for split sleeve cold expansion and chamfer coining holes were overestimated. We see room for improvement on the XFEM simulation process to address issues with crack meshing methods and the material constants of the rail material applied to the study.

Split sleeve success Derailments caused by joint failure are an ongoing problem.

On Jan. 22, 2019, another freight train derailed in Canada.

The safety investigation report cited a missing rail head within an insulated joint. The rail head most likely broke off due to a bolt hole crack. The section of rail had been inspected less than one month previously, meaning the crack initiated and propagated to failure within that time frame or was missed. 4 This incident highlights the need to protect bolted rail holes from the impacts of cyclic fatigue. As noted in the research presented herein, both split sleeve cold expansion and chamfer coining are effective in slowing crack initiation, but the split sleeve process provided the best performance of retarding crack growth. Treating holes with the cold expansion process allows more time to locate and mitigate cracking before critical failure. Figure 3 on p 16 shows an actual rail hole being processed.

The WSU team is continuing work on this application. They are currently conducting FE simulations to assess the structural integrity of cold-worked rail bolt holes in the rail joint assembly under dynamic loadings. Here, the rail joint assembly consists of two rails (rails 1 and 2), joint bars, bolts, and nuts, and they are supported by concrete crossties (sleepers).

They are investigating the fatigue life enhancement of the rail bolt holes prepared by split sleeve cold expansion and/or chamfer coining.

TRACK CONSTRUCTION

A THIRD WAY THROUGH LIRR’s third track expansion project serves as a model for future work

22 RT&S Track Buyer’s Guide // 2022

pretty much four months of one-on-one meetings. So we hit the ground running once we awarded the job. So our team, their team, we knew the players, we aligned and really that prepared us for the unknown [the pandemic].”

The LIRR, considered the busiest commuter rail in the country, needed a more robust system to handle the morning and evening rush. The LIRR Expansion Project adds a third track, eliminates several at-grade crossings and includes bridge, drainage, and utility work. How the project has been managed is the real story, one that the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) will use over and over again in future projects.

“The MTA’s goal is to really take the lessons learned from this project and start applying them to some other contracts we have across our agency,” Tom McGuinness, project executive for MTA Construction & Development, told RT&S.

Staying within the line Knowing each other was the easy part.

Knowing how to fit in a track expansion without taking any right-of-way throughout the 9.8-mile project seemed like an impossible task. The original plan called for the takeover of a lot of property, much of it residential, but officials came up with a hard mandate for LIRR if it wanted to see the project come to life: Fit the third track in the 66-ft-wide right-of-way. The existing layout already consisted of two lines of track that were centered in the corridor, several stations, bridges, and grade crossings.

“We really did our homework,” said McGuinness. “We then allowed designbuild firms to propose designs that would further simplify the alignment, which resulted in reducing the number of phases required for construction. We are currently 2.5 years in and are doing a great job.”

A design-build contract, which encourages innovative thinking during design, certainly helped. The track alignment had

t’s not clear whether it got people to extra bar mitzvahs, weddings or 75th birthday parties, but the degree of togetherness was tighter than normal.

The productivity and comraderie achieved in the months before the Long Island Rail Road Mainline Expansion Project was even awarded was invaluable. When it came to managing through one of the worst global pandemics in modern world history, the established relationships made the building group unflappable.

“We said the only way we would be able to build something of this size ... a $2.5 billion project ... in four years pretty much of heavy construction is to really build a matrix organization to manage the job, and that’s what we have done,” Anthony Tufano, executive director of the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) Mainline Expansion Project, told RT&S. “We worked closely before award with the contracting teams. We had

to be figured out first, and the first two years of the job involved realigning the existing two tracks both vertically and horizontally. Property layout forced crews to cut into existing slopes and construct retaining walls, and in many places activity took place adjacent to the backyards of residential lots. Two interlockings, Nassau 1 and Nassau 3, for the third track had to be installed, which required the track to be raised up and moved horizontally. Nassau 1 is located east of the Merillon Avenue station, and work began there about a year ago. Installation of Nassau 3 started in late 2020. Switches were installed, wiring for the signals and train control is currently under way, and the cutover to the new interlocking will be complete this year. According to McGuinness, the interlockings divide the 9.8-mile section into three different blocks, and create a link between the two tracks to move trains back and forth. Mobile cranes were used during the installation, and when the right-of-way was pinched a gantry crane was used.

“Putting in the interlockings is huge because all of the utilities that have to

control the interlockings and huts need to be spaced out and all of the existing infrastructure that was there needed to be moved so that it is not in the way of the third track,” said Tufano.

In a number of locations the track is being raised an average of 3.5 ft, with the highest elevation change at 4.5 ft.

Five stations are being reconstructed to bring them up to current standards and to add modern amenities. Platforms also need to be moved to allow space for the third track. Staging construction for the stations, which have remained open during construction, has been challenging. Temporary platforms have been built, and ballast and some rail for the third track have been placed. More production work will begin this spring, where more track will be installed and tied into existing track.

Retaining walls needed for the third track also have been set up, and at press time crews were working on putting in drainage and runoff underneath the track bed to prep for rail installation later in the year. Around the stations, much of the

track work (sub-ballast, ballast, rail) is being placed by hand, but where there are long stretches a track-laying machine will be used placing 1,800-ft-long sections of continuous welded rail on top of concrete ties and the new track bed.

“Where it really gets complex is where you put in your interlockings. Putting in the special trackwork, and then bringing all the systems in place, the Positive Train Control [PTC] and the signal systems, to control those interlockings,” said Tufano.

Seven new substations and all the systems that go with them (communications, signals, PTC) also are being worked on right now.

Utilities for both the railroad and the grid are being installed throughout the length of the project. Pole placement has been going on for the last two years, and the process will continue until everything is complete in 2022. The 90-ft-high poles come in three sections and everything is set into a precast foundation. The poles are being set 20 ft deep into the ground. High-rail bucket truck cranes are being used to lift the poles into place where space is limited, RT&S Track Buyer’s Guide // 2022 23

TRACK CONSTRUCTION

while standard cranes are used when there is more room. Some of the poles will be located on the opposite side of the tracks, and where feasible utilities were inserted underground.

A total of eight at-grade crossings are being eliminated and six transformed into under-grade crossings. Five of them have been changed already, with the sixth being worked on in 2021. Again, the challenges involved have been abundant, and when it comes to the grade crossings prime contractor 3rd Track Constructors, a consortium of Dragados USA, John P. Picone, Halmar International, and CCA Civil, came up with an innovative method. It is essentially bridge construction involving a U-structure steel girder bridge that is built adjacent to the location of the existing grade crossing.

The profile of the road is first excavated, with the track being supported by steel sheeting. During construction, trains are still running through the work area overhead while crews are building the bridge.

The bottom of the bridge is a slab serving as the footing, while the top span is typically steel girders. Once the new bridge structure is constructed, a 48-hour weekend track closure takes place. The existing track is removed as well as up to 3,000 cu yd of soil supporting it. During the excavation, hydraulic jacks are put into place and the new structure is pushed into its finished 24 RT&S Track Buyer’s Guide // 2022

alignment. Backfilling is then used for the abutment walls, and the precast concrete approach slabs for the railroad are laid down. Ballast comes next along with new rail, and by Monday morning the track is back in service.

“We pretty much sever the railroad for a few hundred feet over those weekends and rebuild it again,” said Tufano. “Both the contractor and the railroad forces work jointly to do this and it is pretty much a mad dash for 48 hours straight.”

The entire process is locked into a sixmonth road closure, and crews have not had any problems meeting the schedule.

Timetable timeliness The weekday LIRR train does not stop for anything. Some of the construction has been done with trains passing.

However, there is a good amount of work that needs to take advantage of a track outage during off-peak times. Raising the existing two tracks and installing poles both have required a pause in service, and then there are the 48-hour outages for the under-grade crossings. Coordinating the work to fit into a track-outage window still takes an immense effort, and on this project it took on a new approach. By using timetables, the contractor is guaranteed access to the right-of-way for work. Track outage requests must be made six months

in advance.

“So we give him guaranteed access to the right-of-way in a certain area every day, every night and every weekend,” explained Tufano. “[The contractor] plans his work accordingly with us, with our team, to see the best approach and give him the most access and production time.”

Tufano added that about 98% of requests have been filled for track outages.

In the past, work windows were requestbased, but there were no timetables and no guarantees.

For the 48-hour weekend rail closures, there are weeks and months of planning to make sure everything clicks. A risk analysis also is performed, and issues that could become problematic are identified and mitigation plans are developed and put into place.

“I do not think any one of our grade crossings have gone 100% the way it showed on paper,” said McGuinness. “But the ability to manage it throughout the weekend, have the mitigation ready to be implemented, and have all components of the team working together and communicating throughout the weekend helps us get there.”

All the preparations and advanced planning in the world cannot fend off a global pandemic, and when COVID-19 took over the country those involved in the track expansion project made the right

adjustments. New York State deemed the work essential, and work plans were tweaked to minimize contact between workers. If a worker does show any symptoms, the crew he or she is working with is quickly isolated.

The biggest difference-maker has been those established relationships that were formed well before the project started. The agency’s project management team and the contractor’s management team were both in the same office at the beginning, and organizational charts were aligned so decisions and conversations were taking place at the right level. When the pandemic took over, everyone was forced into their own home office.

The process, however, has not missed a beat.

Communication has been solid and turnaround times for submittals and documents continue to be efficient.

“It’s really one group out there,” said Tufano. “It’s not the contractor, the agency managing it, and the owner. It’s really one group tackling and managing the job, and that’s why we’re able to do what we’re doing on a daily basis both remote and when we are together in the field and in the office.”

By using timetables, the contractor is guaranteed access to the right-of-way for work.

The unique aspect of NordLock is that it doesn’t attempt to prevent relative motion, but instead only allows this motion to tighten rather than loosen the bolt.

This is accomplished with a pair of washers whose inner surfaces act like cams with a greater ramp angle than the helix angle of the screw threads. On the opposite side are serrations that grip the bolt head and the mating surface. If the bolt attempts to move in the direction of loosening, a wedge is created and tension is actually increased.
