The ballasted tracks require periodic maintenance to retain the track alignment and restore
the track geometry. In an effort to overcome these challenges, various track stabilization …

Rubber-coated ballast (RCB) is a new innovative ballast aggregate obtained by coating
natural aggregates with recycled crumb rubber by using polyurethane binder. The objective …

The utilization of rubber-coated ballast (RCB) aims to enhance the energy dissipation
capacity and decrease the rate of deterioration of ballasted tracks, leading to reduced …

The shear behavior and drainage characteristics of coal-fouled ballast when treated with
elastomeric polyurethane are assessed by means of large-scale direct shear and …

This study assesses the performance of coal-fouled ballast upon treatment with a
hydrophobic elastomeric polyurethane, Elastan [Elastan-stabilized fouled ballast (ESFB)] …

The effect of polyurethane content on the behavior of ballast was assessed based on large-
scale direct shear and cyclic loading tests. The large-scale direct shear tests were performed …

The current study assesses the deformation and degradation behaviour of geogrid and
elastomer-stabilized coal fouled ballast under cyclic loading with frequencies (f) ranging …

Railway operation in desert areas faces unique challenges due to wind-blown sand
penetration on the safety of the line. In-depth research on the impact of wind-blown sand …

Railroad track ballast composed of uniformly graded crushed aggregate is susceptible to
fouling from substances like ballast fines degraded during track service, coal dust, clay, and …

In recent times the demand for railway transportation has increased rapidly all over the world
because a sustainable mode of transportation is needed to convey passengers and other …
