    The document discusses the track slab for the North Strathfield tunnel project in Sydney, Australia. The technical solution involves a 400mm thick track slab with 12mm steel bars placed 120mm center to center on top, reinforced with 35kg/m3 of Dramix 5D 65/60BG fibers. This fiber reinforcement solution reduced the amount of steel needed by over 50% compared to a conventional design using 20-24mm bars spaced 150mm center to center on top and bottom.
