A Review of Numerical Models for Slab-Asphalt Track Railways

A Review of Numerical Models for Slab-Asphalt Track Railways

Higher train speeds and heavier axle loads trigger elevated stresses and vibrations in the track, potentially increasing track deterioration rates and maintenance costs. Alternative track forms made of combinations of reinforced concrete and asphalt layers have been developed. A thorough understandi...
