Fatigue Behavior of Rail Connections on Semi High Speed and High Speed Rail Networks

open access: yesInternational Journal of Engineering and Advanced Technology, 2020
Rail joint is the most vulnerable and weakest part in the rail structure. Bolted rail joints and welded rail joints are the most predominantly used rail joints. In recent times, continuous welded rail joints are widely used. The literature study exhibits that the performance of welded rail joints are comparatively better than the bolted rail joints ...

Insights into the differential fragmentation processes in rock avalanche emplacement from field investigation and experimental study

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Fragmentation is a universal phenomenon associated with rock avalanches, resulting in an abundance of complex sedimentological structures. If studied in detail, these structures can provide insights into rock avalanche emplacement processes.

FAST AND ROBUST REGISTRATION OF MULTIMODAL REMOTE SENSING IMAGES VIA DENSE ORIENTATED GRADIENT FEATURE [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2017
This paper presents a fast and robust method for the registration of multimodal remote sensing data (e.g., optical, LiDAR, SAR and map). The proposed method is based on the hypothesis that structural similarity between images is preserved across ...

High-speed rail – highway 2.0?

open access: yesActa Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2021
High-speed rail lines should make it possible to fully replace air transport over the medium distances of Europe (about 500 km). In the Czech Republic, they are beginning to design.

When to invest in high speed rail [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Rail Transport Planning & Management, 2015
Abstract This paper starts by a general review of the costs and benefits of high speed rail, of how they are measured in cost–benefit analysis and of the circumstances in which benefits may be expected to exceed costs. Two approaches are taken to the latter; first, examining models in which values of key parameters are varied to see in what ...

Measuring ice lens initiation in soils by particle image velocimetry

open access: yesJournal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
Ice lens initiation is the core issue in understanding the dynamic process of frost heave. However, there are still limitations to find an adequate criterion for describing the formation of ice lens. A series of one-dimensional freezing tests is designed

High-Speed Rail

open access: yes, 2010
A high-speed rail service can deliver competitive advantage over airlines for journeys of up to about 3 hours or 750 km, particularly between city pairs where airports are located far from city centres. One suitable type of corridor is that which connects two large cities 250-500 km apart.
