The rail network plays an essential role in transport
infrastructure worldwide. A ballasted track is commonly used for
several reasons, including economic considerations, load bearing
capacity, rapid drainage and ease of maintenance. Given the
ever-increasing demand for trains to carry heavier axle loads at
greater speeds, traditional design and construction must undergo
inevitable changes for sustainable performance. Ballast is an
unbounded granular assembly that displaces when subjected to
repeated train loading affecting track stability. During heavy haul
operations, ballast progressively deteriorates and the infiltration
of fluidized fines (mud pumping) from the underlying substructure
and subgrade decreases its shear strength and also impedes
drainage, while increasing track deformation and associated
maintenance. Features: serves as a useful guide to assist the
practitioner in new track design as well as remediating existing
tracks. research discussed in this book has made considerable
impact on the railway industry. resulting from collaborative
research between academia and industry, incorporating sophisticated
laboratory tests, computational modelling and field studies. This
book presents a comprehensive procedure for the design of ballasted
tracks based on a rational approach that combines extensive
laboratory testing, computational modelling and field measurements
conducted over the past two decades. Ballast Railroad Design:
SMART-UOW Approach will not only become an imperative design aid
for rail practitioners, but will also be a valuable resource for
postgraduate students and researchers alike in railway engineering.
