This article reviews and summarises the major research work carried out on the
performance and evolution of slab tracks from their first applications until today. An …

High-frequency train loads and complex environmental factors over a long period will
inevitably cause subgrade settlement, an issue that adversely affects line smoothness. The …

To ensure the secure operation of high-speed trains in seasonally frozen regions, this paper
investigates the deformation and failure patterns of slab tracks subjected to uneven frost …

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 …

Subgrade differential arch could adversely affect the high-speed railway (HSR) slab track
and reduce the quality of train operation. In order to study the effects of the subgrade …

Differential settlement is inevitable in soil subgrade which has a direct impact on the service
performance of ballastless track systems and the running quality of high-speed trains. In …

This paper proposes a vehicle-ballastless track coupled model with consideration of
concrete cracks in high-speed railways through finite element method. Cracked Euler beam …

Large and frequent loads from heavy freight and passenger trains often lead to the
progressive track deterioration. The excessive deformation and degradation of ballast and …

The ballastless track structure of a high-speed railway (HSR) undergoes interlayer
debonding during its service due to train loads, environmental loads, and construction. A …

Due to the complex geological conditions along the high-speed railway, the subgrade
uneven settlement (USS) is inevitable, and the safety and stability of the railway are …
