"Smart Solutions in a Circular Economy for Advancing Railroad Design an" by Buddhima Indraratna, Yujie Qi et al.
Ballasted rail tracks are the most common type of transportation infrastructure. However, ballast progressively degrades under dynamic and impact loads. The degree of degradation will be accelerated due to the increasing demand for elevated speeds of passenger trains and heavier axle loads for freight trains. It is, therefore, necessary to develop novel and cost-effective technologies to enhance the longevity and performance of tracks through amended design and construction. Over the past two decades, a number of studies have been conducted by the researchers of Transport Research Centre (TRC)...
