Selection of Alignment & importance of track drainageRAMPRASAD KUMAWAT
This document discusses factors that affect railway alignment selection and the importance of track drainage. It lists 11 factors that influence alignment choices, including gauge, topography, stations/yards, and economics. Proper track drainage is also emphasized as crucial for track maintenance. Water can soften formations and cause ballast loss if not drained quickly. Good drainage ensures water flows off the track through clean ballast, sloped formations, and side drains. Maintaining drainage is important for track quality and reducing wear on components.
Compass surveying is a type of surveying in which the directions of surveying lines are determined with a magnetic compass, and the length of the surveying lines are measured with a tape or chain or laser range finder. The compass is generally used to run a traverse line.
Railway Signaling: Introduction to Signals, Objective of signals. Types of Signals, Operating Characteristics, Functional Characteristics, Locational Characteristics, Special Characterstics
The document discusses the typical elements that make up the cross-section of a road, including the traveled way, roadway, median, shoulders, kerb, traffic barriers, drainage channels, and side slopes. It provides details on the purpose and design considerations for each element, such as recommended widths for different road types. The key factors in selecting appropriate cross-section elements are the expected traffic volumes and composition, as well as safety and physical constraints of the area where the road is located.
Creep is the gradual longitudinal movement of rails in the direction of dominant traffic over time. It is caused by various factors like wave action from moving loads, percussion from wheel impacts at joints, drag from locomotive wheels, and thermal expansion/contraction. Creep can be measured using creep indicators and causes issues like disturbed track geometry and signaling. Sections prone to high creep include grade transitions, structures, and points/crossings. Preventative methods include pulling rails back periodically, using anchors to fix rails to sleepers, and installing steel sleepers for increased stiffness.
The document discusses different types of curves used in roadway design including circular, compound, reverse, and transition curves. Transition curves are used to gradually introduce changes in direction between two tangent lengths of roadway. They provide a comfortable ride for vehicles and enhance the aesthetics of highways, interstates, and other high-speed roads. Super elevation, or banking of the outer edge of the road higher than the inner edge, is also discussed as a way to help vehicles stability and safely navigate curves at higher speeds.
Points and crossings ( special assigments )hiranrathva
Points and crossings are arrangements that allow trains to move between tracks. They consist of movable rails called switches or tongues that can divert trains left or right. Crossings provide gaps in the rails so trains can move between intersecting tracks. Together, switches and crossings form turnouts that allow trains to change routes. Proper placement and angles of switches and crossings are necessary for train wheels to safely navigate between tracks.

Requirements of an ideal rail and factors affecting rail wear and failure are explained. Methods to reduce rail wear include use of special alloys, track maintenance, reducing expansion gaps, and lubricating rails.
Vertical alignment of highway (transportation engineering)Civil Zone
Vertical curves are used in highway design to gradually transition between two different slopes or grades. There are two main types - crest vertical curves, which are used on roadway tops, and sag vertical curves, which are used on dips. The minimum length of a vertical curve is determined based on providing the required stopping sight distance for a given design speed. Additional criteria like passenger comfort, drainage, and appearance may also influence the curve length selected. Longer vertical curves generally provide a smoother ride but require more construction costs.
Geometric design of tracks aims to provide smooth and safe running of trains at maximum speed while carrying heavy loads. This involves proper design of gradients, curvature, and super elevation (cant).
There are different types of gradients - ruling gradient which is the maximum gradient permitted, momentum gradient which is steeper and uses train momentum, and pusher gradient requiring extra locomotives. Gradients are designed considering train performance and load. Curvature introduces greater resistance requiring grade compensation of ruling gradients.
Super elevation (cant) involves raising the outer rail on curves to counteract centrifugal forces. Equilibrium cant provides equal wheel load distribution. Higher speeds result in cant deficiency which must be limited for passenger safety. Contrary flexures like

De ware kosten en baten van conventionele en hernieuwbare energieEneco Belgium
Studie van WWF België en Eneco België die de overheidssteun aan conventionele (fossiel en nucleair) en hernieuwbare energie over de periode van één eeuw (1950-2050) onder de loep neemt. Dit is een primeur voor België. Uit de resultaten blijkt dat conventionele energie vandaag nog steeds meer dan 2/3e van de overheidssteun geniet ten nadele van hernieuwbare energie en energiebesparing. We stellen ook vast dat hernieuwbare energie niet meer kost. De verschuiving van subsidies van conventionele naar hernieuwbare energie is een belangrijke sleutel in het realiseren van de broodnodige energietransitie.
