Abstract
This paper presents the design proposal of the prestressed concrete slab (PSCS) track used for highway-railroad grade crossings in Vietnam. A new type of highway-railroad grade crossings is being proposed to replace the traditional panel crossings made by reinforced concrete, asphalt concrete and rubber. Numerical simulation was carried out to analyze the structural behavior of the PSCS. The results show that the structural proposal of the PSCS meets the requirements of stability and strength under the standard loads of truck and train engines recommended in Vietnamese specifications.
