  • Expected to recognize the basic properties of the railway superstructure and the forces acting on the superstructure.
  • Explains the general arrangement of the basic components that constitute the railway superstructure.
  • Describes the vertical and horizontal forces resulting from the dynamic interaction between the superstructure and the wheel.
  • Analyze the effect of operational parameters such as speed, axle load, and curve radius on the forces acting on the superstructure.
  • Have knowledge about the types, properties, functions and classification of railway superstructure materials.
  • List the main material types used for rail, sleepers and ballast.
  • Explain the basic functions of each superstructure material and the material properties required to fulfill these functions.
  • Specify the effects of standard classifications such as rail profile, ballast grain size and sleeper geometry on the design.
  • Expected to be familiar with the operations, equipment and processes related to the control, maintenance and repair of the railway.
