A major difference between soils and most other construction materials is that soil is a ... The purpose of sub-ballast is to form a transition zone between the ballast and subgrade to avoid migration of soil into the ballast, and to reduce the stresses applied to the subgrade. In theory, the gradation of the sub-ballast should form a filter zone

Sep 30, 2011 A. Prior to placing ballast on track subgrade, perform a final check of the condition of the track subgrade as to line, grade, cross section, and compaction. 1. Verify that track subgrade or subballast does not vary more than 1/2 inch from the design elevations and the line cross sections.

pressure distributions at the interfaces between t he tie and the ballast and between the ballast and t he subgrade. This requires a model that includes the effects of tie bending; rail-fastener stiffness; and changes in ballast depth, roadbed material properties, and tie spacing in a unified manner. In such a model, changes in roadbed

subgrade reaction is for short-term loadings to be used for loads such as lift-truck wheel loads. These loads only affect the first few feet of the soil and have little, if any, long-term consolidation settlements. The second subgrade reaction is for long-term loadings to be used for loads such as wide area rack or uniform storage loads.

The situation worsens during the rainy season, when water entering these cracks makes the soil soft, and with the hydrostatic pressure and impact of moving loads, deeper ballast pockets are formed. This undesirable property of swelling and shrinkage of black cotton soil presents a lot of problems in the maintenance of proper levels of subgrade.

For weak and poor quality subgrade, there is a need to increase the thickness of pavement to compensate for it. In order to save cost for sub-base which is relatively expensive, the concept of capping layer is introduced in which capping materials of cheap but strong nature are used to cap the weak subgrade. In […]

May 28, 2020 The term “ballast fouling” is widely used to indicate the deterioration of ballast which has degraded its engineering characteristics. Ballast fouling generally has three sources: (1) ballast abrasion and breakage, (2) external sources such as coal waste and dust, and (3) subgrade fluidisation and infiltration through the subballast and ballast layers.

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 finite difference method (FDM) is used to simulate the substructure (i.e. subgrade and foundation) with a consideration of computing cost. And then, the coupled model is achieved by satisfying displacement, velocity and contact force compatibility between the FLAC and the PFC.

Vertical dynamic behaviour of a railway track on an elastic halfspace or on a layered halfspace is investigated by a frequency domain analysis. The results are compared with those for a simpler model, where ballast and subgrade are considered as a viscoelastic foundation. In the low- and medium-frequency range up to 250 Hz, great differences are observed between the results of the halfspace ...

Water that cannot drain away changes the carrying capacity, so that there is an enrichment of fine particles especially in the transition zone between ballast and subgrade. The increase in the fine-grain component of the ballast bed leads to a reduction of the shear strength and subsequently to a decrease in the load carrying capacity of the system as a whole.

Bearing capacity is used to design rigid foundations, but subgrade reaction is used for flexible foundations. The very assumption of a rigid foundation is that “the distribution of the subgrade reaction p over the base of the foundation must be planar, because a rigid …

Railroad ballast is the uniformly-graded coarse aggregate placed between and immediately underneath railroad ties. Subballast is sand or gravel used to provide drainage and, along with ballast, distributes the applied dynamic train loading into the subgrade.

May 05, 2019 A solid subbase is a key to a successful building project. A slab on ground and pavements normally are designed to be supported by a solid subbase, which needs to be uniform by nature to support the structure above it. A subbase will go on top of the subgrade, which typically is native soil or improved soil that has been compacted.

2.5 Ballast: Crushed stones with desired specifications placed directly below the sleepers. 2.6 Sub-ballast: Sub-ballast is a layer of coarse-grained material provided between blanket/subgrade (where blanket is not provided) and ballast confined to width of ballast section only. However, sub-ballast is not in vogue on Indian Railways.

Feb 04, 2020 The differences can be attributed to the fact that the PSPA moduli are the small-strain moduli of the ballast layer, whereas the LWD moduli are the high-strain moduli of the combination of the ballast and the softer subgrade layer below it.

Sep 10, 2019 Above the ballast, three mono-block concrete sleepers were buried with a depth of 0.165 m, by which the top surface of the ballast layer was parallel with that of the mid-span of the sleeper, and the spacing between two adjacent sleepers was 0.6 m, as seen in Fig. 1(b). Due to the strains caused by the train-induced vibration, which is typically below 10 −4, the sleepers and the subgrade ...

Jun 02, 2017 Ballast - Size….. The size of ballast used varies from 1.9 cm to 5.1 cm. The best ballast is that which contains stones varying in size from 1.9 cm to 5.1 cm with reasonable proportion of intermediate sizes. The exact size of the ballast depends upon the type of sleeper used and location of the track as below.

The negative impact of the ballast on the service life of the track led to initial designs of ballastless track. The ballast is replaced by sub-layers of concrete or asphalt which, unlike ballast, have no or only slight plastic deformation. The lack of elasticity of these layers is compensated by the conscious use of elastic components.

Oct 30, 2016 The soil subgrade is a box filled of approximate 15,000 particles with the width of 10 m and the height of 4.5 m. The micro parameters of the filled particles are the same as those of silty clay that have been tested from experiments. The sub-ballast material is coarse gained sand as the proof layer in real project with a height of 0.15 m.
