Investigating Morphology and Breakage Evolution Characteristics of Railroad Ballasts over Distinct Supports Subjected to Impact Loading

Investigating Morphology and Breakage Evolution Characteristics of Railroad Ballasts over Distinct Supports Subjected to Impact Loading

The ballast bed constantly degrades under the repeated applications of impact loading exerted by passing trains in terms of the particle size, shape, breakage, fouling, etc., thus significantly jeopardizing the in-service performance and operational safety of ballasted tracks. In this study, the mor...
