Railway superstructure for high-speed rails [PDF]
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2021 The construction of the track is solved as a conventional (with track ballast) or as a ballastless track (without track ballast). When deciding on the choice of the most suitable track design for high-speed rail, it is necessary to emphasize that with ...

Determination of the rail-to-earth transition resistance of the ballastless track and influence of the resistance on the current spreading in the subgrade [PDF]
Вестник Научно-исследовательского института железнодорожного транспорта, 2022 Introduction. The rail-to-earth transition resistance is an important parameter of electrified railways, which directly effects the electrical safety level of the traction network and the potential distribution in the upper structure track area.

Ballastless railway track transition zones: An embankment to tunnel analysis [PDF]
Transportation Geotechnics, 2022 Railway track transition zones are characterised by an abrupt change in track support stiffness, which increases dynamic wheel loads and leads to the acceleration of differential settlement and track degradation. The performance of transition zones is a concern for railway Infrastructure Managers due to the increased maintenance operations and costs ...

Influence of temperature gradient of slab track on the dynamic responses of the train-CRTS III slab track on subgrade nonlinear coupled system [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Temperature is an important load for ballastless track. However, there is little research on the system dynamic responses when a train travels on a ballastless track under the temperature gradient of ballastless track.
