Rail pads, originally called "sole" plates or pads, are used when rail is attached to concrete, rather than timber, ties or sleepers. Their function is to reduce fatigue cracking of the concrete ties, which is believed to be driven by impact and vibration from the passing train.
A rail pad is inserted in between the rail and baseplate or sleeper. Rail pad is introduced to the railway fastening system because of its resilience or viscoelasticity which can be implemented in the intervention of fatigue cracking of sleepers. The dynamic stress from the wheel or rail impact from both regular and irregular movements is attenuated. There is the added advantage of reducing track maintenance and associated costs.
