Question

A railroad tie (or sleepe1) is subjected to two rail loads, each of magnitude P=175 kN, acting as shown in the figure. The reaction q of the ballast is assumed to be uniformly distributed over the length of the tie,which has cross-sectional dimensions b =300 mm and h =250 mm.

 

Calculate  the  maximum  bending  stress 111ma  inthe tie due to the loads P, assuming the distance L  =1500 mm and the overhang

length a =500 mm.
