Description

Mechanics of Ballasted Rail Tracks: A Geotechnical Perspective provides a deep look into the technical aspects of rail track maintenance and design. Published by CRC Press, this book offers detailed discussions on ballast testing, focusing on the strength, deformation, and degradation of both fresh and recycled materials. By examining these elements under monotonic and cyclic loading, the text provides essential data for engineers working with rail infrastructure. Readers will find specialized information on the use of geosynthetics to stabilize recycled ballast, which is a growing area of interest in sustainable construction. The book also introduces a new stress-strain constitutive model for ballast that accounts for particle breakage. To help address modern engineering challenges, a new range of particle gradations is proposed to balance the necessary requirements for both strength and permeability in future rail tracks. This text serves as a vital reference for final year civil engineering students and professionals in the field.
