Interesting difference in terminology. On our railroad, superelevation is what you call cant. Balanced superelevation is your equilibrium cant. Unbalanced superelevation is your cant deficiency. Cant usually refers to the slope in the base area of the tie plate that angles the rails toward the center of the track. We had to be careful not to mix canted tie plates with flat tie plates or with tie plates with different cants.
It is interesting learning how different countries and areas do things! Even region to region or depot to depot in the UK difference names are used for things
I just want to clarify on 11.82, this has been calculated usign track width and not track gauge. if track gauge 1435mm has been used then it should be 11.3
A train stopped on an excessively canted track can ‘fall in’ when trying to lift the train from a standstill. Can cause much muttering among those attending the derailment. 😂
Hello, I loved your videos on railway engineering. I wanted to ask you something, on 6:50 you said that the constant for the Equilibrium Cant is 11.82 in UK. Could you please specify which standard code that states that constant number? And, on 11:00 you said that the calculation for applied cant has differ from 2/3 of Equilibrium Cant. Could you also please specify on what journal or standards you based it on? Thank you in Advance
Hi, The 11.82 is quoted in numerous places but the one that springs to mind is The Track Design Handbook The 2/3 was a rule of thumb rather than one stated in a standard
Hello! I already have a video on Intro to Switches and Crossings: th-cam.com/video/hzhPx4p7vc8/w-d-xo.html There is also a playlist with all my videos on Switches and crossings in, check it out for something more specific th-cam.com/play/PLQzlnixSFeE2j7xJ2cDhdNa9B4w4Z_VdX.html
Great Video. Sorry to be picky, but I would like to put the record straight. The term "Centrifugal force" is no longer used; the correct term now is "Centripedal Force". Same force, just a different name.
Wrong. They are different things. Centrifugal force is typically the fictitious force in a rotating reference frame, away from the center of rotation. Centripetal force is the real force required to make an object follow a curved path, into the center of rotation.

As a 40 year railwayman I thought that was top notch
Thank you very much!!
What a fantastic video explaining all track design matienice
Glad you liked it!
best video regarding Cant Deficiency
Thank you very much Mohammad, I hope some of my other videos can also help!
Top notch, helped me immensely, every second of this video was useful, cheers
Brilliant to hear Flynn, thank you!
Great video♥️ sir
Thank you, your comment means a lot!
That´s very intereting, thank you for sharing this information....
please make more videos like this one about railway design, for underground mining
I will certainly look to do a video on railway in tunnels
Excellent work
Thank you! I am glad you found it useful
Class video! Thanks a lot

Please help me to provide the how cant deficiency for standard gague?

That answers the question I had.
Superelevation is equivalent to cant. 👍

can you pls make a video on SWITCH and FROG on tracks

Meters are fr looking at to take readings metres are units of length

To me, it’s not called can’t but superelevation in North America
I have heard this a few times and now trying to include this term in my videos etc for clarity
