Beam on elastic foundation theory is widely employed when studying railway track
behaviour, for applications such as track dynamics, and noise and vibration. At a basic level …

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 …

Trackside monitoring of railways provides useful data for understanding the condition and
mechanical behaviour of railway track, prior research has shown that railway track …

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 …

Subgrade differential arch could adversely affect the high-speed railway (HSR) slab track
and reduce the quality of train operation. In order to study the effects of the subgrade …

This paper presents a progressive numerical model validation of a bowstring-arch railway
bridge based on the analysis of experimental data from different structural response …

Transition zones in railway tracks are the locations with considerable changes in supporting
structures. Because of the difference in the structures or material properties, the differential …

Transition zones to bridges and other structures are critical locations in railway tracks that
frequently evidence poor long-term performance. Under sleeper pads (USPs) are reported …

Railway track transitions are zones where there is an abrupt change in the track-ground
structure. They are often the location of rapid track deterioration, which means more frequent …

Railway tracks on earthworks with poor geotechnical performance may undergo important
differential settlements that amplify the dynamic response of the train–track system, inducing …
