A railroad crosstie includes an outer casing made of a 50-50 mixture by volume of recycled high density polyethylene and crumb rubber from recycled tires. The outer casing includes an upper section and a lower section, which cooperate to define a cavity in which a beam or beams are installed. Each of the beams include an aperture below the rail supporting areas of the crosstie and an insert of the same composite material of which the outer casing is made is installed within the beams below the rail support areas. A flowable concrete mixture fills the cavity defined within the outer casing including the cavities defined within the beams.

L'invention porte sur une traverse de chemin de fer comprenant une enveloppe extérieure constituée d'un mélange égal en volume de polyéthylène recyclé haute densité et de caoutchouc granulaire provenant de pneus recyclés. L'enveloppe extérieure comprend une section supérieure et une section inférieure qui coopèrent de façon à former une cavité dans laquelle sont placées une ou des poutres. Chacune des poutres comporte une ouverture située sous les surfaces de la traverse supportant le rail, et un élément d'insertion, fabriqué dans ce même matériau composite et dont est constituée l'enveloppe extérieure, est installé dans les poutres sous les surfaces supportant le rail. Un mélange de béton fluide remplit la cavité formée dans l'enveloppe extérieure comprenant les cavités formées dans les poutres.
