Number of sleeper = number of rails × number of sleepers per rail length
Calculation:
Given:
For BG track, length of rail = 12.8 m [General information]
∴ n = 13 [next positive integer of 12.8]
Number of sleepers per rail length = M + 5
So,
Number of sleepers per rail length = 13 + 5 = 18
Number of rails \(= \frac{{100}}{{12.8}} = 7.81\)~8
So number of sleepers needed = 18 × 8 = 144Last updated on Jun 4, 2025
