Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFConcept:
Sleeper density is denoted as n + x.
Here n + x denotes the number of sleepers to be used for one rail length.
n = length of one rail.
Calculations:
Given:
-
Gauge (G) = Broad Gauge (BG) = 1.676 m
-
Sleeper density =, where n = length of one rail in meters
-
Length of one rail = 13 m
-
Track length = 1 km = 1000 m
So, sleeper density = 13 + 4 = 17 sleepers per rail
Number of rails in 1 km \(=\frac{1000}{13}=76.92rails\)
Total number of sleepers\(=76.92\times17=1308 \) sleepers
