Hello Everyone,

my name is Floriano Lyra, I'm a graduating in Civil Engineering in Brazil.

I'm making a research for my monograph that is based with a parallel of how to procedure and investigate (technically speaking) with the accidents and derailments In Brazil and with other countries (mainly USA, UK, France and Germany), by analyzing and using rail and truck evidences, imperfection of the superstructure or infrastructure elements and others miscellaneous causes.

I have some Brazilian manuals with the general technical guidelines for the process of investigating railroad accidents and I would like to compare that technical procedures with the procedures of these other countries.

So, can someone help me sharing some info, manuals, or just telling where I can found those Manuals of technical procedures to investigate a derailment/accident?

I'm attaching here the index of a Brazilian Manual I found. The text of this manual is in Portuguese so I translated the index so that everyone can take a look and see what kind of manual I'm looking for.

Thank you very much in advance.
Floriano Lyra
