Infrastructure embankment failures due to flooding have been recorded in many countries.
The consequences of flood-induced embankment failures have mainly been limited to …

As an important part of national security, railway safety is also an eternal theme in the
development and maintenance of railways. In this study, to explore the establishment of high …

Ballastless tracks are widely used to provide high rail smoothness in high-speed railways.
However, the differential settlement inevitably develops in the subgrade soil, which poses a …

The Werkmeister's criteria are widely utilized for characterizing the permanent axial strain
behaviour of granular materials. These criteria are based on shakedown theory and are …

In this study, field tests of highway subgrade dynamic response were conducted using a self-
developed regular dodecahedron soil pressure sensor (RDSPS). The RDSPS can be used …

The ballastless track inevitably suffers from some functional defects, such as expansion joint
cracking, due to the long term combined effect of dynamic train loads and environmental …

With increasing train speed and wheel axle load, severe vibrations can occur in a ballasted
trackbed, thereby accelerating the degradation of the ballast particles and ultimately causing …

This study presents a full-scale model investigation on variations of soil stress in a
geosynthetic-reinforced pile-supported track bed at various water levels and loading cycles …

This paper aims to investigate the dynamic performance evolution law of double-block
ballastless track under long-term train load through a full-size laboratory experiment. The …

Rail irregularities caused by subgrade differential settlement will accelerate track
degradation and lower ride comfort and safety. Since the track substructure is normally …
