... 1 TCRP D-7/Task 14 Rail Base Corrosion Study SUMMARY Under Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) Project D-7, the Transportation Technology Center, Inc., (TTCI)
From page 6...
... 2 The following transit systems were visited and provided several examples of rail base corrosion: • Philadelphia: Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) • New York: Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA)
From page 7...
... 3 The FEA showed that areas of high stress concentration occur more often near sharp edges. In addition, sharp edges are sometimes hidden at the base of the rail making detection difficult.
