In this book, the authors discuss testing of ballast, including
the strength, deformation and degradation aspects of fresh and
recycled ballast under monotonic and cyclic loading. The
effectiveness of geosynthetics in stabilising recycled ballast has
also been examined. A new stress-strain constitutive model for
ballast incorporating particle breakage is presented. Finally, a
new range of particle gradations, balancing the strength and
permeability requirements, has been proposed for future rail
tracks. This book is intended as a reference text for final year
civil engineering students and postgraduates, and for practicing
railway engineers with the task of modernizing existing
designs.
