Thermal buckling of railroad tracks in the lateral plane is an important problem in the design and maintenance of continuous welded rails (CWR). The severity of the problem is manifested through the increasing number of derailments which are attributable to track buckling, indicating a need for developing better control on the allowable safe temperature increase for CWR track. The work reported here is part of a major investigation conducted on the analytical predictions of critical buckling loads and temperatures, and deals with a parametric investigation of the buckling response of CWR track.
