Laboratory Evaluation of Railway Ballast Consolidation by the Non-Destructive Testing
The property of railway track to resist the irreversible deformation for a long-term operational loading considerably depends on the ballast layer. The ballast layer is the element of a railway track whose mechanical properties and state are formed in ...

A CFD-DEM Based Numerical Investigation of Debris Flow on Ballasted Railway Track [PDF]
Debris flow occurring in mountainous areas can cause issues to railway tracks. Debris flow may cause large track deformation and even track breakage and introduce server ballast fouling afterwards. After the flash of a debris flow, the fine particles can
