Stress Response Analyses of Ballasted Rail Tracks, Reinforced by Geosynthetics

Abstract

This paper highlights recent field studies at Emperor Alexander I St. Petersburg State Transport University, which helped quantify the geosynthetics reinforcement performance in railway ballast. For this purpose, the laboratory of engineering-geological surveys was used to create calibrated load on the railway track. The experimental results indicate that the geosynthetics inclusions have improved track stability directly after it repairs and track doesn't change their properties during the time.
