63· Flexible pavement sections often consist of one or more base layers of varying materials between the subgrade and asphalt wearing course. A flexible pavement will deflect under loading as pressure dips well into the supporting layers, as shown to the right. Each independent, flexible layer contributes to the overall strength of the pavement, or its ability to …

71· Research results from field dynamic tests [5], [34], [22] and numerical simulations [26], [16], [13] have indicated that the considerable differences in dynamic responses between the rigid structure and the ordinary subgrade in high-speed railways or heavy-haul railways [29], [37], [15] should be given more attention. The essential reason is the difference in track stiffness or …

Abstract: The discrete element method (DEM) and finite difference method (FDM) coupling algorithm were introduced into the analysis of interface stress between railway ballast bed and soil subgrade. The crushed ballast was simulated by the refined DEM modelling, combined with laser scanning and triaxial testing. Then, an interface element was established between interlayer …

91· The damage to the subgrade surface is mainly due to the stress concentration of the ballast exceeding the strength limit. Geogrid reinforcement helps reduce settlement in the ballast bed caused by ballast pockets; while also preventing intrusion the subgrade, and reducing the maximum stress on the subgrade surface.

221· A subgrade that is composed of impermeable soil must require a drainage facility to let water drain away without resulting in the collapse of the subgrade and the above layers of the pavement.

Ballast and subgrade play major roles in the maintenance life of track structures because they are the source of the cumulative permanent de· formation associated with the deterioration of surface and line. Ballast is also the principal means of correcting for this deterioration, which is caused by traffic and environmental factors.

Then, the train-induced dynamic stress, stress path, and acceleration of the permafrost railway subgrade caused by vertical irregularities in winter were analysed. The differences in the dynamic responses between the 2D and 3D models were also analysed.
