Abstract

Railway sleepers are one of the most important elements of the railway track system. Although timber sleepers are still the most common, use of pre-stressed concrete and steel materials is also increasing. In addition, ties produced using recycled materials are of interest, recently. By recycling plastic waste, considerable amount of money can be kept from ending up in the landfills. Composite sleeper has become a great replacement of traditional sleepers (Timber, concrete, steel). There are also now various environmental concerns regarding the use and disposal of chemically-impregnated traditional sleepers. They are superior to timber & concrete sleeper in almost every respect. Use of composite sleepers not only reduces the land pollution from stray waste plastics but also ensure less destruction to the forests. As composite ties are strong, durable, and reliable, they require less maintenance and have longer life than common railroad ties. Therefore, they can be an excellent, cost-effective and long-term solution.If we use a pre-stressed concrete sleepers or steel sleepers then then initial setup cost as well as maintenance cost will be high. So, it is necessary to introduce such a sleeper which is economical and eco-friendly.
