12 Points and Crossings (Railway Engineering Lectures هندسة السكك الحديدية & ...Hossam Shafiq I
This document provides background information on railway engineering components used to connect and divert train tracks, including points, crossings, turnouts, and crossovers. It defines these terms and explains their purpose and basic functioning. Points (switch rails) and crossings (frogs) guide train wheels between parallel or diverging tracks. A turnout combines points, switches, and crossings to enable one track to branch off from another. Crossovers similarly connect two parallel tracks to allow trains to switch between them, but serve a different layout and function than turnouts. Diagrams and references are provided to further illustrate these components and how they operate.
09 Drainage (Railway Engineering Lectures هندسة السكك الحديدية & Dr. Walied A...Hossam Shafiq I
This document discusses railway track drainage. It begins by introducing track drainage and distinguishing between surface and sub-surface drainage. Sources of moisture that can affect tracks are then outlined. The importance of track drainage is discussed, noting that it prevents problems like wet earth clogging ballast and ballast sinking into wet earth. Surface drainage and various methods of sub-surface drainage, like inverted filler blankets and pervious layers, are covered. Problems associated with bad drainage like clogging and ballast sinking are explained, along with remedies for those issues.
06 Creep of Rails (Railway Engineering Lectures هندسة السكك الحديدية & Dr. Wa...Hossam Shafiq I
Rail creep is defined as the longitudinal movement of rails with respect to sleepers in a railway track. The most serious effect of rail creep is buckling of the track laterally, which can result in derailment if not addressed. There are several causes of rail creep, including wave action as wheels load and unload the rails, percussion from rail joints, dragging forces as trains start and stop, and thermal expansion/contraction from temperature changes. To remedy rail creep, tracks are adjusted through manual means such as grinding rails, replacing worn fastenings, or using mechanical correctors that push rails back into position.
05 Welded Track (Railway Engineering Lectures هندسة السكك الحديدية & Dr. Wali...Hossam Shafiq I
This document summarizes information about welded railway tracks from a textbook chapter. It introduces welded joints and long welded rails (LWR) as ways to reduce the number of weak rail joints. LWR terminology like "breathing length" is defined. Continuous welded rails (CWR) that have no joints at all are also discussed. Theories for how LWR works are presented, including equations for calculating the force and amount of expansion/contraction based on factors like the coefficient of linear thermal expansion, modulus of elasticity, and breathing length of the rail. An example problem is referenced from the textbook.
05 Rail Joints (Railway Engineering Lectures هندسة السكك الحديدية & Dr. Walie...Hossam Shafiq I
The document discusses different types of rail joints used in railway tracks, including supported, suspended, bridge, welded, staggered, square, compromise, insulated, and switch expansion joints. It notes that welded rail joints are the strongest and most perfect type but require accommodating thermal expansion, and describes various rail welding methods like electric arc, oxyacetylene, flash-butt, and chemical thermit welding. The document also covers advantages of welded rails, theory of welded rails, and provides an example calculation for railway track construction.
05 Rails (Railway Engineering Lectures هندسة السكك الحديدية & Dr. Walied A. E...Hossam Shafiq I
The document summarizes key aspects of railway engineering as it relates to rails, including:
- Standard rail sections used internationally and factors that influence rail selection.
- Common rail tests like falling weight, tensile strength, and hammer tests.

This document discusses railway ballast, including its definition, functions, types used in Saudi Arabia, requirements, gradation, cleaning, minimum depth, construction, and relationship with sub-ballast. It notes that crushed limestone is commonly used for ballast in central Saudi Arabia but can chemically bond, reducing elasticity. The document asks students to calculate the volume of ballast and sub-ballast needed for 1 km of track in KSA, and provides an assignment on sub-ballast specifications per AREMA standards.
04 Rail Sleepers (Railway Engineering Lectures هندسة السكك الحديدية & Dr. Wal...Hossam Shafiq I
This document discusses different types of rail sleepers used in railway engineering, including their requirements, classification, materials, and practices in Saudi Arabia. The main types are wooden, steel, and concrete sleepers. Wooden sleepers have a life of 10-12 years but are suitable for many conditions. Steel sleepers last longer at 20-25 years but are prone to corrosion and expensive. Concrete sleepers, increasingly used in Saudi Arabia, are durable with a life of 40-50 years and offer stability, insulation, and gauge control. They are manufactured using pre-stressed concrete and a carousel curing process in Saudi plants.
02 Railway Terminology (Railway Engineering Lectures هندسة السكك الحديدية & D...Hossam Shafiq I
This document provides an overview of key railway engineering terminologies and concepts in 3 paragraphs:
Railway track structures transfer load from rolling stock to the ground. There are two main types: ballasted tracks using crushed stone ballast and ballastless tracks. Rails are the main component of tracks and come in different profiles like flat foot and bullhead. Rail fastenings fix rails to sleepers. Sleepers support rails and transfer load to ballast.
Rolling stock refers to any vehicles that run on tracks. The main types are locomotives, coaching stock for passengers, and goods stock for cargo. Locomotives provide motive power and come in diesel or electric models. Coaching stock includes passenger coaches and luggage v

Sri Guru Hargobind Ji - Bandi Chor Guru.pdfBalvir Singh
Sri Guru Hargobind Ji (19 June 1595 - 3 March 1644) is revered as the Sixth Nanak.
• On 25 May 1606 Guru Arjan nominated his son Sri Hargobind Ji as his successor. Shortly
afterwards, Guru Arjan was arrested, tortured and killed by order of the Mogul Emperor
Jahangir.
• Guru Hargobind's succession ceremony took place on 24 June 1606. He was barely
eleven years old when he became 6th Guru.
• As ordered by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, he put on two swords, one indicated his spiritual
authority (PIRI) and the other, his temporal authority (MIRI). He thus for the first time
initiated military tradition in the Sikh faith to resist religious persecution, protect
people’s freedom and independence to practice religion by choice. He transformed
Sikhs to be Saints and Soldier.
• He had a long tenure as Guru, lasting 37 years, 9 months and 3 days
