Advanced Rail Geotechnology - Ballasted Track

by Buddhima Indraratna, Cholachat Rujikiatkamjorn, Wadud Salim

Ballast plays a vital role in transmitting and distributing the train wheel loads to the underlying track substructure. The load-bearing capacity, safe train speed, and the levels of noise and vibration, as well as passenger comfort depend on the behaviour of ballast through particle interlocking and the corresponding deformation of this granular assembly. Attrition and breakage of ballast occur progressively under heavy and continual cyclic loading,...
