Railway industries are placing greater emphasis on implementing fast and heavy haul
corridors for bulk freight and commuter transport in order to deliver more efficient and cost …

It has been recently reported that ballast comprising differently graded layers helps to
reduce track settlement. The main goal of this paper is to provide micro mechanical insight …

Impact forces induced by wheel and/or rail irregularities and abrupt variations in track
stiffness may lead to accelerated deterioration of the track components. The use of artificial …

Over the past few decades, geosynthetics have been used extensively during track
reconditioning to improve soil stability as they offer many advantages including cost …

The writers appreciate the encouraging feedback provided by the discusser and for raising
several important aspects related to track substructure improvement using geo-inclusions …

A rapid urbanization has increased the portion of paved layer that results in the change of
water circulation system. This change leads to frequent events of flooding, drought, and …

In the present study utilizing large scale direct shear test, the effect of ballast encasing with
geogrid has been investigated. In this mater two ballast grading of 1 and 4 have been …

This study evaluated the shear behavior of geogrid reinforced ballast material using a large
scale direct shear test and discrete element method (DEM) based on PFC 3D program. The …

Railway engineering has rapidly evolved to accommodate higher speed and heavier
transport loads in a timely fashion. This trend brings attention for railroad engineers to come …
