Recent advancements in railway construction have emphasized environmental
sustainability, integrating considerations of environmental impact into the planning and …

Frictional sleepers have been shown to enhance lateral resistance effectively. However, the
current design of the bottom grooves in frictional sleepers lacks standardized specifications …

Conventional railway track is laid in a layer of coarse stones known as ballast. Due to the
gaps between the stones, the railway ballast behaves as a porous acoustic material, with …

The cross-level and twist irregularities are the most dangerous irregularity types that could
cause wheel unloading with the risk of derailments and additional maintenance expenses …

The article solves the problem of theoretically determining the deformable characteristics of
railway ballast, considering its condition through mathematical modeling. Different tasks …

This study presents an investigation into the mechanical behavior of geogrid-reinforced
ballast subjected to cyclic loading focusing on the macro-and micromechanical features of …

Canada possesses an extensive rail network that is mainly supported by ballasted
substructures in which a ballast layer lies immediately beneath the rail-tie assembly. The …

The current paper presents typical behaviour of fine-and coarse-grained soils under low-and
high-cyclic loading applied under drained or undrained conditions. The influences of various …
