Abstract. The article presents an analysis of the current norms for designing railway plans and profiles that require adjustment when implementing digital designing technologies and repairing railways. We have carried out a simulation of interactions between the railway and rolling stock at the sections with curve junction in the plan and profile and have provided rationale for excluding some obsolete limitations that are preserved in the current regulations.

Abstract. Structural assessment of small and mid-sized bridges maintained on the Verkhnezeyskaya permanent way division of the Far East Railroad is set forth in the article. It is pointed out that bridge supports constructed in accordance with Principle I (permanently frozen soil during the whole maintenance period of artificial structures) are almost twice the rate more vulnerable to excessive stress-strain deformation as compared with the bridges that rest on non-subsiding melting soils. Temperature survey of the permafrost foundations in the structures under investigation is performed. It is indicated that to maintain the specified carrying capacities of bridge and pipe culverts, some requisite measures for stabilizing temperature conditions of the permafrost foundations are to be taken.

Abstract. One of the main features of bridge structures located on high-speed railways is the dynamic character of their operation under the passing live loads. The relevance of the study of the interaction of bridge structures with high speed trains is due to increased requirements for ensuring the safety of train traffic and the comfort of passengers.

In this paper, based on numerical simulation, the results of the study of the motion of a high-speed train along bridge structures in the resonance mode of vibrations are presented. In this formulation, special attention was paid to the control of dynamic phenomena at the level of the «wheel—rail» contact. The dynamics of nonclipped parts of the train car determines the magnitude of the contact force, which in turn characterizes the possible detachable movement of the wheel, which is inadmissible for the safety of the train. Analysis of the results obtained, using the example of a 50 m long simple span structure, developed for the Moscow—Kazan high-speed railway, allows us to conclude that the resonant nature of the vibrations of simple beam is not a critical phenomenon.

Abstract. Modified wood is widely used in various sectors of the economy. Currently in Russia in the construction and repair of the top structure of a railway track used primarily wooden and concrete sleepers. The use of wooden sleepers is much lower than reinforced concrete it is due to the depletion of pine timber stocks, short service life of sleepers (15—20 years), the purpose of the railway section, climatic conditions and terrain features. With the use of concrete ties is manifested is not suitable sleepers-quality concrete: the lack of damping properties, high electrical conductivity, significant weight sleepers, brittleness at low temperatures.

Developed resource-saving technology and equipment allows us to obtain railway sleepers broad gauge of modified wood with improved performance using low-value, widely accessible wood of soft hardwoods.
