Abstract
Previous studies have addressed railway turnouts (switches and crossings), but research on the performance of 1000 mm gauge turnouts is limited. At present, wooden sleeper structures are used at turnouts in Vietnam. However, these structures have many disadvantages in the operation process. This paper evaluates the performance of new prestressed bearer (PSB) for turnouts, designed for the 1000 mm gauge, to overcome the disadvantages of a wooden sleeper. Test samples of PSB were manufactured in the factory, and experiments were conducted in the laboratory according to European Standards to evaluate the PSB carrying capacity. The test results show that the proposed structure meets the carrying capacity under the standard test loads. In addition, the results of the static and fatigue tests of the bearers show a considerable reserve in the cross-section capacity. This means that the existing reserve can be used with a larger locomotive axle, and the bearer design can be optimized by arranging the prestressed strands and changing the bearer cross-section’s geometric dimensions. It is hoped that the proposed bearer design will be a viable alternative for designing railway turnouts.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
