Experimental Study on Settlement Behavior of Ballasted Tracks with Polymer Compound-Coated Gravel
The ballast used in ballasted railway tracks transmits load from the rails and ties to the subgrade during train travel, and directly affects the overall track support performance and elastic behavior of the ballasted track.

Dynamic response of a vehicle with flexible car body moving on a ballasted track
In this study, the dynamic response of a vehicle with flexible car body moving on a ballasted track is investigated. The vehicle/track interaction model is divided into two sub-systems, namely the vehicle and the ballasted track sub-system.

2D train-track-bridge interaction analysis considering the effect of ballasted tracks
This paper investigates the effect of ballasted tracks on the dynamic interaction between train, track, and bridge systems. A 2D interaction model is developed, incorporating detailed representations of the bridge, train, and track, with and without ...

Dynamic effect of high speed railway traffic loads on the ballast track settlement [PDF]
The traditional ballast track structures are still being used in high speed railways lines with success, however technical problems or performance features have led to non-ballast track solution in some cases.
