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 …

The initial geometry of a railway track continually degrades over its life-cycle. Changes in the
track alignment give rise to variations in the dynamic axle load which accelerate track …

Transition zones in railway tracks are the locations with considerable changes in the vertical
support structures. Typically, they are located near engineering structures, such as bridges …

The dynamic response of the subgrade under moving train loads provides information on
subgrade settlement prediction, condition evaluation, and so forth. This paper presents the …

Heavy-haul railway embankments in China are generally constructed with coarse-grained
granular (CGS) materials. The accumulation of permanent deformations in CGS materials …

The railway track at transition zones to bridges or to other structures usually requires
considerably more interventions to maintain the same open track service quality and safety …

Transition zones in railway tracks are the locations with considerable changes in vertical
support structures, eg, near bridges. Due to possible water flow constrictions in transition …

The paper presents a methodology for comprehensive analysis of railway transition zones
(eg near bridges), including: an advanced measurement technique which uses a DIC-device …

ABSTRACT A monitoring project was implemented in trial sections of the Watang− Rizhao
heavy-haul railway. Data were acquired at instrumented track formations and railway …

Railway track is a linearly inhomogeneous object that consists of geometrical and elastic
discontinuities such as bridges, transition zones, rail joints and crossings. The zones are …
