Abstract: This paper compares the behavior of an embankment with nonsymmetric geometry built on soft soil with that predicted numerically using four elastoplastic soil models. Two of these models are based on isotropic conditions ...

Abstract: The selection of the macrolocation of new high-speed rail (HSR) systems during the planning stage affects the associated infrastructure costs. The process is influenced by the complex interaction between the HSR alignment, ...

Abstract: High-speed rail (HSR) infrastructure is often built in areas prone to multiple hazards. In the planning stage, large areas and substantially different configurations can be considered, but appraising the solutions is a ...

Abstract: High-speed rail (HSR) networks require large investments, and the performance of the infrastructure is affected by varying local environments, while subject to tight layout restrictions. This paper presents a fully integrated ...
