#### Analyze the stresses in the railway track structure.

TrackDes is used by SYSTRA Canada to analyze the stresses occurring in the
railway track structure resulting from single or multiple axle load
configurations.

The model was developed to assess any track gauge (narrow, standard, broad, and
even dual-gauge), in view of the variety of situations that the company
encounters in its international work.

The model compares the calculated stresses against recommended or generally
accepted values and allows rapid analysis of multiple combinations of rail size,
sleeper spacing, and ballast depth.

This permits optimization of the track structure with respect to the specific
loading conditions and local costs of materials (for instance, at a location
where suitable ballast is expensive, the design would be modified to decrease
sleeper spacing and reduce the ballast depth).
