Abstract:
A method for fixing a rail on a support, said method comprising:placing a support on a ground;placing a first anti-vibration pad on said support;placing a metal sole-plate on said first anti-vibration pad;placing a second anti-vibration pad on said metal sole-plate;placing a rail on said second anti-vibration pad;fixing said rail on said support by means of a first fastening means applied to said rail along a first lateral side thereof;fixing said first anti-vibration pad and said metal sole-plate on said support by means of a second adjustable fastening means acting directly on said metal sole-plate;adjusting said second adjustable fastening means thereby to apply predetermined preload stress to said first anti-vibration pad so that the operating point of said first anti-vibration pad always remains in the region of linear behaviour of its static deflection curve during the passage of wheels on the rail.
