About the Book:-
Prestressed Concrete Railway Sleeper is a relatively new product that has supplanted older materials as it perfectly maintains the gauge and allows higher speeds. Lately, the trend has been towards the manufacture of multiple sleepers simultaneously.
This book is intended for young and practicing engineers. Some of the information provided in this book has been obtained during visits to prominent sleeper producing units in the world, and is primarily pertaining to basic principles involved in the design and production.
This text is the outcome of comprehensive efforts jointly undertaken by private sector and the Indian Railways for production of PSC sleeper within the country. The chapter on "Problems in Production and their Probable Solutions" would be helpful specially to those involved in production at the shop floor.
Contents:-
1. Introduction 2. Sleeper Production Systems 3. Requirements of Raw-Materials and Mix Design 4. Rail Fastening Systems 5. Normal Problems Faced in Production of PSC Sleeper & Their Probable Solutions 6. Quality Assurance and Testing 7.Installation and Maintenance of Precast Concrete Sleeper Track System 8. Design of PSC Sleepers 9. Indian Scenario 10. Performance of PSC Sleepers in Track 11. Future Sleeper Tracks 12. Non-Conventional Sleepers 13. Typical Standard Specifications for Pre-Tensioned Prestressed Concrete Sleepers for Broad Gauge and Meter Gauge 14. Appurtenances and other Important Information about Rails and Sleepers 15. Two Block Reinforced Concrete Sleeper.
About the Author:
N.G. Joshi had previously worked for the erstwhile Government of Bombay (now the state of Maharashtra), The Indian Hume Pipe Co. Ltd. (as Chief Engineer), Hindustan Construction Company (as Vice-President, Engineering) and Elkem India Pvt. Ltd. (as Technical Advisor). He had been a consultant on various overseas assignments, also. In addition, he shared his vast knowledge in the field with various State Governments in India in his capacity as an expert. He published several prize-winning papers on pipes and sleepers.
The author had the privilege of being associated with the design and production of the very first sleepers in India. He was also credited with running one of the biggest sleeper producing plants in Baghdad.

About the Book :-
The main objective of the book is to acquaint the engineers about the computer based techniques used in structural analysis. This textbook is primarily written as a basic learning tool for undergraduate and postgraduate students in the departments dealing with the mechanics of solids and structural systems. Based on the knowledge of classical methods of structural analysis, the reader is introduced to "Matrix and the Finite Element Methods" and then exposed to advanced topics in a more gradual manner. The book is self contained and most of the background materials required for the analysis of structures have been dealt with.
A large number of diagrams and illustrations help in easy understanding of the text. The book presents ‘Matrix’, ‘finite elements’, ‘structural analysis’ and ‘computer implementation’ in a unified and integrated manner. Computer programs and structural analysis have progressed simultaneously throughout as the text as the matter presented in primarily meant for large sized structures. All the computer codes are presented in "FORTRAN" AND "C".
