The roadbed is the most deformable and most heterogeneous component of the railway
track infrastructure, which state is the main factor determining the efficiency of the road, and …

Track transitions such as bridge approaches, road crossings and shifts from slab track to
ballasted track are common locations where track degradation accelerates due to dynamic …

Concrete slab railway tracks typically have higher initial capital costs yet lower operational
costs in comparison to ballasted tracks. One reason for the elevated operational costs on …

Railway tracks undergo plastic settlement when subject to repeated train loading. This
occurs differentially along the track rather than in a uniform manner, and the profile is a key …

Vertical stiffness and shear strength of ballasts are significantly degraded when
contaminated with sands. There is a lack of solutions/studies related to strengthening ballast …

The buried pipes should be designed properly to withstand the loads imposed by the backfill
soil weight and traffic loads. However, a thorough literature review has shown differing …

Railway track geometry deteriorates under repeated train loading. When linespeed is
increased or new rolling-stock is introduced this can alter the future rate of change of …

A methodology for the simulation of long-term differential track settlement, the development
of voided sleepers leading to a redistribution of rail seat loads, and the evolving irregularity …

This paper proposes a three-dimensional model incorporating finite element (FE) meshes
with infinite element (IE) boundaries for ballasted railways. Moving train loads are simulated …

The increased generation of demolition waste has led to the successful implementation of its
utilization in civil engineering projects. The combination of recycled aggregates and …
