Book Synopsis Advanced Rail Geotechnology - Ballasted Track by : Buddhima Indraratna
Book excerpt: Ballast plays a vital role in transmitting and distributing train wheel loads to the underlying sub-ballast and subgrade. Bearing capacity of track, train speed, riding quality and passenger comfort all depend on the stability of ballast through mechanical interlocking of particles. Ballast attrition and breakage occur progressively under heavy cyc
