Transmission of stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) in simulated ballast water confirms the potential for ship-born spread

Scientific Reports, 2022
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) remains an unprecedented epizootic disease, representing a substantial threat to the persistence and health of coral reef ecosystems in the Tropical Western Atlantic since its first observation near Miami, Florida ...

Review of ballast track tamping: Mechanism, challenges and solutions

, 2021
Railway ballast beds bear cyclic loadings from vehicles and deteriorate due to ballast particle degradation (breakage and abrasion), ballast pockets (subgrade defects), fouling (or contamination) and plastic deformation of the beds.

Evaluation of lateral stability of railway tracks due to ballast degradation

, 2021
Track lateral stability is one of the most critical considerations for safe and reliable railway infrastructures. With increasing exposures to high temperatures globally, a greater expansion in continuous welded rails can induce a higher risk of track ...

Mechanism of Sleeper–Ballast Dynamic Impact and Residual Settlements Accumulation in Zones with Unsupported Sleepers

Sustainability, 2021
Unsupported sleepers or void zones in ballasted tracks are one of the most recent and frequent track failures. The void failures have the property of intensive development that, without timely maintenance measures, can cause the appearance of cost ...

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

Journal 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.
