This paper is a review of the effect of vehicle characteristics on ground-and track borne-
vibrations from railways. It combines traditional theory with modern thinking and uses a …

The roadbed is the most deformable and most heterogeneous component of the railway
track infrastructure, which state is the main factor determining the efficiency of the road, and …

With the accelerated urbanization and population growth in the Yangtze River Delta of
China, numerous metro tunnels are in operation or under construction, and adjacent deep …

In recent years, the high development of high-speed railway lines cross through areas with
poor geological conditions, such as soft soil, offshore and low-lying marsh areas, resulting …

The increased demand for higher speeds and increased freight capacity in railroad
transportation exacerbates the rate of ballast degradation that leads to unacceptable track …

Abstract Model testing in laboratory, as an effective alternative to field measurement,
provides valuable data to understand railway׳ s dynamic behaviors under train moving …

Large repetitive wheel loads from heavy haul and passenger trains can cause significant
track deformation that leads to poor track geometry and safety issues. The inclusion of …

The main objectives of this paper are the evaluation of the relevance of the non-linear
behaviour of the soil on the track response and the validation of a methodology, which …

In the track substructure of ancient railways in France, a fouled ballast layer has often been
created with time. The mechanical behaviour of this coarse soil was studied in the laboratory …

The deterioration of a rail track due to large dynamic wheel loads is inevitable over the years
and leads to frequent, high-cost maintenance. This problem is more critical in isolated rail …
