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 track transition zones are areas where there is a sudden change in the track-ground
structure. They include changes between ballasted and slab track, bridge approaches, and …

In projects involving embankments, reinforced soil technology is common because of its
effective reinforcement and low cost. This study proposes a method to transform outdated …

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 …

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 …

Railway track designers and maintenance entities have long been pursuing for a robust and
reliable method to predict the track's long-term behaviour. The complexity of this railway …

Ballast and slab railway track structures are constructed from different materials, thus
requiring different maintenance strategies. Therefore, this paper compares the settlement …

The rapid development of infrastructure often encounters the loose subgrades and is
becoming difficult to carry to construction activities. Numerous counteracting methods are …

High speed railway track and earthwork structures experience varied levels of displacement
amplification depending upon train speed. Protecting against amplified track deflections is …

This study aims to investigate how the subgrade strength and the location of a geogrid within
a ballast layer affect the geosynthetic's ability to stabilize railroad ballast. To do so, a total of …
