Laboratory investigation of railway-used ballast morphology using 3D imaging data analyses

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials, 2023
Railway ballast deteriorates over time due to cyclic loading and environmental factors, necessitating its replacement to maintain track stability. However, the potential shortage of fresh ballast has posed challenges in replacing used ballast. One of the

Studying the Strengthening Effect of Railway Ballast in the ‎Direct Shear Test due to Insertion of Middle-size Ballast Particles [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied and Computational Mechanics, 2022
This paper summarized some common grading curves of ballast layers and found that the content of 16-32 mm ballast particles ("middle-size particles" in this paper) had a significant effect on the direct shear performance of the ballast layer.
