Composite Sleeper Index Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Composite Sleeper Index = (Strength Figure+(10*Hardness Figure))/20
CSI = (S+(10*H))/20
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Composite Sleeper Index - Composite Sleeper Index refers to composite sleeper index, which evolved from a combination of the properties of strength and hardness.
Strength Figure - Strength Figure is a number generally given for the strength o both green and dry timber used for sleepers.
Hardness Figure - Hardness Figure is a number which is provided for assuming the hardness of both dry and green timber with 12% moisture content used as sleepers.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Strength Figure: 1200 --> No Conversion Required
Hardness Figure: 1446 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

CSI = (S+(10*H))/20 --> (1200+(10*1446))/20

Evaluating ... ...

CSI = 783

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

783 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

783 <-- Composite Sleeper Index

What are the Advantages of Wooden Sleepers?

(a) Cheap and easy to manufacture.
(b) Absorbs shocks and bears a good capacity to dampen vibrations; therefore,
retains the packing well.
(c) Easy handling without damage
(d) Suitable for track-circuited sections
(e) Suitable for areas with yielding formations
(q Alignment can be easily corrected
(g) More suitable for modern methods of maintenance
(h) Can be used with or without stone ballast
(i) Can be used on bridges and ashpits also
(j) Can be used for gauntleted track

What are the Disadvantages of Wooden Sleepers?

(a) Lesser life due to wear, decay, and attack by vermin
(b) Liable to mechanical wear due to beater packing
(c) Difficult to maintain the gauge
(d) Susceptible to fire hazards
(e) Negligible scrap value
