Traditional ballasted tracks have been used intensively around the world with ballast as the
main material for tracks. Ballast has a significant contribution to the track alignment, stability …

The nonlinear mechanical properties of ballasted tracks along railways result in complex
dynamics of the vehicle–track systems. Employing localized characterization of ballast and a …

For the development of a high-speed rail network in urbanised areas, ground vibration and
associated damage to surrounding structures are major concerns. The problem becomes …

Transmission of train‐induced vibrations to buildings located in the vicinity of the track is one
of the main negative externalities of railway transport, since both human comfort and the …

The paper describes results of stressed state tests of railway subgrade top in under new-
generation gondola cars with 270 kN axle load. Vertical stresses were measured in 2018 …

The paper describes results of bearing capacity calculations for railway clayey embankment
under new generation gondola cars with 270 kN axle load. Test stretch is situated at the …

In this study, the Rayleigh wave velocity, which is an important parameter in ground vibration
analysis, is determined directly in an unbounded soil medium using numerical modelling …

This paper compares methods of designing the track bed structure that are used in the
processes of design and review design of subgrade tracks located in Slovakia and …

To model the vibration and structure-borne sound excitation and propagation of a railway
rail, it can be modeled as an infinite beam on an elastic foundation. Existing analytical or …

This study developed and investigated a precast slab track system partially reinforced with
glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) rebars in the transverse direction, which mitigated the …
