In this study the deformations and stresses occurred in the elastic rail fastening system were evaluated according to applied extreme track forces based on various field conditions track curvature and poor properties. The purpose of this study is to establish a method for efficient management and suggest guide line for track construction in order to secure the performance quality of the elastic rail fastening system on the sharp curved track.. Therefore initial construction qualities of rail and concrete bed initial clamping force and applied extreme track forces were used into experiment as several parameters. Using these test results the performance characteristics of the elastic rail fastening system were also evaluated. As a result it suggested the method to secure long-term durability of fastening system and comparing sharp curved track to results on field test.
