The paper presents a study of the effect of geosynthetic reinforcement on the (cumulative)
plastic settlement, of a repeatedly loaded plane strain footing on a thin layer of granular …

Large-scale models comprising a single tie/ballast system were constructed over artificial
subballast-subgrade supports having variable compressibility ranging from rigid to very flexible …

A new method for calculating the track modulus by using elastic properties of the individual
track support components is developed. The properties include (a) the stiffness of the rail pad,…

This paper describes the formulation and application of a dynamic model for a conventional
rail track subjected to arbitary loading functions that simulate wheel/rail impact forces. The …

A design methodology that uses an approach similar to that outlined in the American Railway
Engineering Association Manual for Railway Engineering for calculating the stresses …

… A similar correlation or aggregate index was noted by Raymond and Diyaljee (6) when load
ranking ballast for permanent settlement~ This suggests that the same aggregate index may …

… Corporation under a contract awarded to GP Raymond of Queen's University and PM Jarrett
… Raymond, GP 1979. Ballast properties that affect ballast performance. American Railway …

Presented is a simplified procedure for obtaining material characterization of free draining
cohesionless soils for use in calculating permanent deformations of transportation support …

Triaxial static compression and extension tests using low confining pressures have been
performed on a fine mineral grained tough dolomite railroad ballast. The shear strength and …

The principal aim of this paper is to compare laboratory settlement and pore pressure
dissipation rates of undisturbed Leda clay with those predicted from a modified consolidation …
