Deformation of Rail
Hi Sorry for the delay. The rail is formed into a 29-1/2 ft diameter circle. 5 equal pieces of rail stock are formed, cut and trimmed to make the circle. The 16 wheels are mounted to a table with each wheel assumed to be carrying an equal load of 12,000 lbs each. The wheels are 6.66" in...- macheske6

Deformation of Rail
I have a 29-1/2 ft diameter piece of 40# ASCE rail track. On this track there are 16 wheels 2" wide each with each wheel supporting approx 12,000 lbs of load. Does anyone know how to calculate the load capacity of 40# rail? Thanks- macheske6
