Perspective , by Buddhima Indraratna, Wadud Salim.
| New Geo Books |
Book Description:
Discussing experimental procedures as well as theoretical
aspects, Mechanics of Ballasted Tracks: A Geotechnical
Perspective presents the state-of-the-art triaxial testing of
ballast, including strength, deformation, and degradation aspects
of fresh and recycled ballast. This book provides an in-depth
examination of the effectiveness of geosynthetics in stabilizing
recycled ballast. Incorporating particle breakage, it presents a
new stress-strain constitutive model for ballast. Beneficial for
practicing engineers as well as engineering students, this text
also proposes a new range of particle gradations for future rail
tracks that balances strength and permeability requirements.
