mum deflection and the maximum bending stress for a railroad rail
subjected to a single wheel load of 100 kN. The foundation modulus k =
15 MN / m². Assume that I = 400 × 10-8 m², E = 200 GN/m², the depth of
the rail is 180 mm and that the distance of the centroidal axis of the
cross-section of the rail from the top surface is 100 mm.
