In the course of the long-term service of high-speed railway slab tracks, the diverse range of
loading types and long-time characteristics can result in material property deterioration and …

Information technologies have widely been used in the construction and maintenance of civil
infrastructure. The advantages of information technologies provided a broader range of …

Abstract Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is nowadays a requirement for civil
infrastructures like tunnels, bridges and viaducts. With the advances provided by the Internet …

Capturing vibration energy of track structures using piezoelectric energy harvesters has
attracted increasing attention for powering wireless sensor networks along railway line. To …

Scheduled inspections of common crossings are one of the main cost drivers of railway
maintenance. Prognostics and health management (PHM) approach and modern monitoring …

Railway track geometry is generally understood to be influenced by the deformation of the
track infrastructure. This study developed a spatial–temporal identification model for the …

Ballastless slab track is the main form of ballastless track for the high-speed railway in the
world. Deformation overrun of the track slab will seriously affect the smoothness of the track …

Guided waves have been studied for monitoring defects on switch-rails. However, few
researchers study monitoring of spallings. Previous studies on switch-rail damage detection …

Rapid infrastructure growth in developing countries has intensified environmental
challenges due to cost-prioritizing practices over sustainability. This study evaluates 21 …

The deformation of longitudinally coupled prefabricated slab track (LCPST) due to high
temperature may lead to a reduction in ride comfort and safety in high-speed rail (HSR) …
