Track carrier for a high speed magnetic levitation transport system

A track carrier for a high speed maglev track, comprising a steel lower member, a pair of upwardly and outwardly extending struts including an acute angle between them and welded to said lower member, and an upper member connected to upper ends of said struts and having mounting strips projecting laterally beyond said struts for the connection of rails for said track, said upper member being constituted as a steel fiber concrete plate with stressing elements extending therethrough and embedded therein, said stressing elements selected from the group consisting of longitudinal and transverse elements extending respectively in a longitudinal and transverse direction of said plate, said plate having substantially a Greek pi letter-shaped cross-section with first ribs extending, said steel fiber concrete plate being provided with second ribs transversely oriented with respect to said first ribs along said underside of said plate, and wherein additional longitudinal stressing elements capable of adjusting a track gradient are held without bonding adjacent to an undersurface of said second ribs.
