Large-scale cubical triaxial tests were conducted to investigate the behavior of reinforced
and unreinforced subballast under cyclic load. Granular material with an average particle …

Traffic loading causes the rotation of principal stress axis and generates a heart-shaped
stress path in the deviatoric stress space. Using dynamic hollow cylinder apparatus (DHCA) …

The three-dimensional stress state of subgrade soil elements plays a crucial role in railway
subgrade design and service life evaluation, especially in heavy-haul railways. To solve the …

Cyclic plastic strain behavior of unbound granular materials (UGMs) exhibits significant
stress path dependency. Using a customized triaxial apparatus capable of applying stress …

Instability of subgrade soil sometimes associated with soil fluidisation can lead to
uncontrollable deformation and failure at a critical number of loading cycles for a given cyclic …

Since the alarming settlement of transport infrastructures on soft subgrade caused by long-
term traffic loading, a method for predicting settlement is of considerable significance in the …

Large-scale dynamic triaxial tests under train-induced repeated load were conducted to
study the variation of resilient modulus of the coarse-grained soil under different moisture …

This paper presents the results of a series of hollow cylinder tests carried out to investigate
the role of drainage conditions on the response of railway track foundation materials during …

The design of rail tracks is often challenged by the highly compressible behaviour of soft
estuarine clays over which they must pass. It is prudent that the realistic long-term behaviour …

A laboratory study was carried out to compare the behaviour of loose tailings under simple
shear loading using a torsional shear hollow cylinder device (TSHC) and a direct simple …
