Traditional ballasted tracks have been used intensively around the world with ballast as the
main material for tracks. Ballast has a significant contribution to the track alignment, stability …

ABSTRACT A study that could help a rail track engineer in determining the configuration and
thickness design of railway track in accordance with the targeted service life and available …

Transition zones between railway tracks and bridge decks can cause higher dynamic
impacts. A solution is smoothly changing the track stiffness by gradually mixing steel furnace …

Conventional railway tracks are laid in a layer of crushed stone known as ballast which
contributes to the resilience of the track support. Beneath it is the subgrade which also has a …

The combined structural response of the ballasted track and the deck of railway bridges
causes longitudinal forces and displacements that can affect the ultimate resistance of the …

This study investigated the structural response of granular and asphaltic overlayment of rail
track considering the linear viscoelastic behavior of asphalt. The calculation of the tensile …

As much as there has been a significant increase in the development of railway systems in
recent years, one of the significant drawbacks on this mode of transport is ground-borne …

Subgrade is a soil layer located at the base of the railway track structure and the last layer
that receives train load forwarded by the railway track construction above it. The …

A more durable rail track structure is fundamental in the railway industry, allowing the
government to operate the train with higher speed and axle load. That means more …

This paper focuses on developing train–track dynamic interaction models by consideration
of ballast and subballast layers' stress distribution patterns. In this paper, the existing railway …
