Abstract: Unique tests of non-ballast track amounting to 1.1 bln tons gross of the tonnage have been completed on the JSC VNIIZHT Test Loop near Scherbinka railway station. The calculation and experimental method for evaluation of service life of non-ballast track installed on a high-speed line is presented, based on the results of tests carried out on the Test Loop. Taking into account operation conditions on a high-speed line – 176,6 kN axle load at the speed of 300 km/h and working capacity 30 mio. tons gross, the tonnage amounts to 2270.4 mio. tons gross or 75.7 years of service.
