Ballasted track structure design methods: review and evaluation of current practices

In the rail industry, several methodologies are currently employed for designing railway sleeper ballast system track structures and components. These methods are based on semi empirical or general mechanistic track design procedures, finite element ...

Transition Zone between Ballastless and Ballasted Track: Influence of Changing Stiffness on Acting Forces [PDF]

, 2012
The track's ballasted superstructure is a multilayered construction consisting of several constitutive layers. In the slab track for High-Speed Lines, or the embedded track for terminal port stations, a concrete slab replaced the ballast.

A comparison of the noise and vibration performance of slab and ballasted track designs

, 2018
In deciding between the use of ballasted track or slab track, an important issue is their noise and vibration performance, as slab track is usually considered to be noisier than ballasted track.

Design of ballasted railway track foundations under cyclic loading

, 2009
The foundations of ballasted railway tracks are usually consisted of a graded layer of granular media of ballast placed above a naturally deposited subgrade.
