System for and method of stabilizing rail track structures using a load transfer apparatus
A system for and method of stabilizing rail track structures using a load transfer apparatus is disclosed. The load transfer apparatus includes a vertical load transfer element and a top load transfer element, wherein the top load transfer element is used to transfer applied locomotive and rail car loads to the vertical load transfer element. In one embodiment, the top load transfer element includes helical flights. In another embodiment, the top load transfer element includes a flared top. In yet another embodiment, the top load transfer element includes a load transfer cap. In a further embodiment, the top load transfer element includes two or more support legs each with a top support attached thereto. The railroad stabilization system can comprise any one type or any combinations of types of the aforementioned load transfer apparatuses.
SYSTEM FOR AND METHOD OF STABILIZING RAIL TRACK STRUCTURES USING A LOAD TRANSFER APPARATUS
A system for and method of stabilizing rail track structures using a load transfer apparatus is disclosed. The load transfer apparatus includes a vertical load transfer element with at least one cross-sectional rib and a top load transfer element with at least one longitudinal vertical fin, wherein the top load transfer element is used to transfer applied locomotive and rail car loads to the vertical load transfer element. In one embodiment, the vertical load transfer element comprises a plurality of cross-sectional ribs spaced along a length of the vertical load transfer element. In another embodiment, the top load transfer element comprises a plurality of longitudinal vertical fins spaced along a perimeter of the top load transfer element to enhance stability of the top load transfer element.
FEED MATERIAL PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR APPLYING, DISTRIBUTING AND COMPACTING FEED MATERIAL IN DEFINED LAYER HEIGHTS
A feedstock processing apparatus for applying, distributing, and compacting feedstock in defined layer heights may include a chassis with a traction drive and a first and second undercarriage, a frame structure that connects the two undercarriages over a span width of the feedstock processing apparatus, a material feeding device coupled to the frame structure, a material distributing device coupled to the material feeding device and displaceable in certain sections over the span width and configured to apply the feedstock in layers on soil in different, predefinable height positions between the undercarriages, and a compacting device displaceably mounted on the frame structure and/or the material distributing device. The compacting device and the material distributing device can be displaced in a manner dependent on one another respectively along a predefinable movement path. A corresponding method is also disclosed.
