• Composite railway sleepers – recent developments, challenges and future prospects (2015, background): “Moreover, concrete and steel sleepers require special fasteners and cannot replace timber ones in an existing track because of their incompatible behaviour [6].”
• A review of current development in natural fiber composites for structural and infrastructure applications (2010, background): “Examples of such are windmill, roof, bridge, girder, railway sleepers, floating river walkway, monocoque fibre composite trusses, structural portal frames and truss system for deployable shelter [1, 4-9] The principle in fiber composites is to utilize fibers as reinforcement in matrix of resin.”
