Abstract: A process for making beams of prestressed concrete in an assembly for casting and curing beams of prestressed reinforced concrete, having an individual prestress frame allowing tensioning of longitudinal reinforcements between two fixed end elements maintained in spaced-apart relationship by longitudinal elements; and an individual impression cooperating hermetically with the frame so that the walls of the impression and the walls of the end elements of the frame, connected together, form the sides of a mould receiving the cast concrete, the impression being adapted to be separated from the frame without detensioning of the reinforcements.

Abstract: An assembly for securing a rail to a railway track sleeper of the type in which the rail is clamped on the sleeper by a resilient clip placed under stress by means of a nut screwed on a bolt associated with the sleeper. A bolt is provided with a shoulder which serves as an abutment to prevent undesired deformation of the resilient clip and/or the appearance of excessive extraction forces on the bolt when the nut is screwed down on the bolt. The bolt provided with a shoulder may be used with a variety of resilient clips.
