Conventional railways are considered together with high-speed railways, tramways, metros, maglev and hyperloop systems, people movers, monorails and rack railways. Every system of transport is described in its basic technical characteristics, especially in terms of transportation system capacity, alignment design criteria and construction costs. It is an introductory book to specific topics of the railway engineering field, and thus, the mathematical treatment is purposely brief and simplified. The book is an ideal learning resource for students of civil engineering, as well as a valuable reference for practicing engineers involved with railway designs.Springer tracts in civil engineering.Railroad engineeringRailroadsDesign and constructionRailroad EngineeringTechnology & EngineeringRailroad engineering.RailroadsDesign and construction.625.1Guerrieri Marco1074267MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910659488403321Fundamentals of railway design3587550UNINA
