Field Assessment of the Performance of a Ballasted Rail Track with and without Geosynthetics
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Understanding the complex mechanisms of stress transfer and strain accumulation in layers of track substructure under repeated wheel loading is essential to predict the desirable track maintenance cycle as well as the ...
Improvement of Problematic Soils by Lime Slurry Pressure Injection: Case Study
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Lime slurry pressure injection (LSPI) is a stabilization operation used in problematic soils by transportation industries with the aim of improving the geotechnical properties and bringing excessive maintenance costs to ...
Improved Performance of Railway Ballast under Impact Loads Using Shock Mats
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Impact loads generated because of wheel and rail defects cause accelerated ballast breakage leading to adverse performance of ballasted rail tracks. In the present study, experimental and numerical investigations have been ...
