Testing of Hungarian aggregates for railway ballast according to MSZ EN 13450: 2003 [PDF]
In June 2003 Hungary accepted the European Standard for Aggregates for Railway Ballast (MSZ EN 13450: 2003). The European norm, compared with the Hungarian Standard, also includes a new examination method called the micro-Deval method for railway ballast

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

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 ...

Assessing the Role of Longitudinal Variability of Vertical Track Stiffness in the Long-Term Deterioration [PDF]
The performance of the railway system in terms of dynamic loading is depending mainly on the track support conditions. Usually, the track stiffness is used as the main parameter to describe the support conditions and is defined as the ratio of the load ...

Modelling Experimental Measurements of Fluid Flow through Railway Ballast
The flooding of railway ballasts can cause extensive damage. This process has been the subject of several experimental investigations. In the present work, a relatively easy to implement approach to modelling this fluid flow is presented.
