  26. • Peak Dynamic Pressures (286,000 lb cars) ≈ 20 psi max on top of HMA mat ≈ 10 psi max under HMA mat • Dynamic Track Deflections (286,000 lb cars) ≈ 0.25 inch wood tie track ≈ 0.05 inch concrete tie track

  27. • Dynamic Track Modulus (286,000 lb cars) ≈ 2,900 lb/in/in wood tie track ≈ 7,200 lb/in/in concrete tie track • In ‐ Track Pressure Measurements Consistent • CSX Heavy Haul / TTCI High Tonnage Loop

  28. • Moisture Contents of Subgrade / Subballast ‐ Consistent with time ‐ Remain near optimum • Waterproofing and Confinement • HMA Mat – minimum variation in temperatures • Modulus – remains near uniform • Fatigue Life ‐ ?

  29. • Direct Pressure Measurements in Track Structure Compare Favorably with Predicted Pressures form KENTRACK
