Sleeper Density in Railways


sleeper density
sleeper density
Number of sleepers provided for one rail length of track is called sleeper density. If “N” is the length of one rail in meters,
Sleeper Density = N+ X , (X –> 3 to 6)
For a Broad Gauge track, total number of sleepers required for 1km length of railway track if sleeper density = N+5
Length of one rail = 12.8m =13m
Sleeper Density = N+5 = 13+ 5 = 18
Total number of sleepers required for 1km length = (18/12.8)x1000 = 1406 sleepers.
