Finite Element Modeling of the Dynamic Response of Critical Zones in a Ballasted Railway Track

The critical zones are the discontinuities along a railway line that are highly susceptible to differential settlement, due to an abrupt variation in the support conditions over a short span. Consequently, these zones require frequent maintenance to ensure adequate levels of passenger safety and com...
