I've only ever seen these used under trams, can they even hold up to a heavy train?

wouldn't it be possible to achieve roughly the same advantage by spacing the concrete sleepers a little further apart from each other.

So is the argument for these that they save material? How are they beneficial over standard ties?

Now you can't carry as many sleepers to the construction site

they require less track bed, are lighter and handle the stretch forces better
they're also i-beams

>instead of 1600 concrete sleepers, let's have 800 steel sleepers that consist of 2 bent I-beams instead
It's still 1600 beams that seem like more effort than before to manufacture, so the only way these could possibly be an improvement is a significantly longer operating life and a significantly better recycling footprint.

Sleeper density is directly related to the carrying capacity of the track and its longitudinal stability.

>>1909703
Y-shaped steel sleepers are an excellent choice for heavily laden tight curves, as there is a lateral and longitudinal resistance to track motion. They are much more expensive though and corrosion is a constant problem.

Any Y-type concrete sleeper then
I don't think this concept will become popular if it only stick with steels
