Sleeper end resistance of ballasted railway tracks [PDF]
Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2014 This paper describes model tests used to investigate how ballast shoulder width and height contribute to a railway sleeper’s resistance to lateral movement for a range of shoulder widths and heights.

Remediation of mud pumping on a ballasted railway track
Procedia Engineering, 2016 Maintenance of ballasted railway tracks is a major cost for railway infrastructure owners. In many developed countries, much of the railway infrastructure is mature and was built for service requirements long since superseded.

Effect of Sleeper-Ballast Particle Contact on Lateral Resistance of Concrete Sleepers in Ballasted Railway Tracks. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2022 Although a sleeper makes a great contribution to the lateral resistance of ballasted tracks, in this regard, limited studies have been carried out on the effect of its contact surface with ballast aggregates. The current paper is dedicated to evaluating the effect of sleeper shape on the lateral resistance of ballasted track through discrete element ...

ROLLING NOISE SIMULATION OF A RAILWAY VEHICLE [PDF]
Fiabilitate şi Durabilitate, 2013 Rolling noise of the railway vehicles is occurred by the wheel/rail vibration excited bythe rolling surfaces roughness. This paper presents an acoustic model able to predict the rollingnoise level of a railway vehicle.

Improving the performance of railway tracks through ballast interventions [PDF]
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part F: Journal of Rail and Rapid Transit, 2018 Maintenance and eventual renewal of a ballasted track constitute major operational costs for a railway network. Thus, significant benefits would accrue from a more robust track design having a longer service life and reduced maintenance requirements ...
