Given the limited capacity of available railway tracks in Australia to sustain increasingly faster and heavier trains, the development of innovative and sustainable ballasted tracks is essential for Australian transport infrastructure. Upon repeated train loading, ballast aggregates become degraded and fouled owing to the

disintegrationand other railway components (De Chiara et al. 2014)(Fig.2). When railway ballast aggregate degrades and no longer functions, it loses its ability to carry out its primary performance of supporting and draining the track. A mecha-nismthatcausesthis lossofsupport and subsequentfailure of the ballast is termed "fouling" of the ...

Railway ballast is the granular material that supports sleepers on a traditional railway track. It is composed of discrete particles, typically larger than those considered in traditional geotechnical engineering. ... Validated DEM models were used to study aggregates coordination number (CN) and contact force distribution. Direct shear test ...

Railway ballast course comprises of granular aggregate experiencing degradation under applied repeated train loads. Degradation of aggregate can be categorized into two distinct types including breakage of an individual particle and abrasion of particles in contact with each other [].Considering the breakage of a single ballast …

Considering that ballast is a non-renewable natural material it is compelling that such practices be reviewed and replaced by more sustainable techniques. At the same time, it becomes essential that rocks with adequate properties are used in the construction and maintenance of the railway ballast, so that its life span is the longest possible.

The main standard is EN 13450 "Aggregates for railway ballast", which specifies the properties of aggregates (from natural, manufactured, or recycled processes) for railway ballast usage [3]. The authors tested three natural ballast aggregates that are the most used in Italy: basalt, porphyry and limestone. In last years quarry material has ...

The train passing over the railway track structure generates impact loads; meanwhile, the incorporation of elastic materials such as CR particles mitigates the level of suddenly applied increased loads. Analyzing the dynamic response of the ballast exposed to impact loading seems more reasonable to quantitatively assess the ballast behavior.

The selected section of the track can be a half-section of the track, consisting of two sleepers and a rail embedded in a box of ballast aggregates, similar to the test apparatus used in the study ...

Ballast is coarse aggregate with particle size normally ranging from 10 mm to 65 mm. Upon repeated train loading, ballast deteriorates in the form of either continuous abrasion of sharp corners or size degradation, which have been reported as the fundamental cause for the instability of railway tracks. In this study, the splitting …

For railway, ballast is the most important sub-structure. The selection of suitable quarry site for ballast is based on predefined criteria such as; type of rock and its weathering grade, distance from the proposed rail alignment, thickness of overburden at proposed quarry site, landuse and landcover, accessibility to proposed quarry site etc.

Aggregates are the most mined material in the world. Construction aggregate is a broad category of granular raw material of different sizes (sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, recycled concrete etc) used in construction. Aggregate can be used in a number of ways in construction. In roads and railway ballast the aggregates are …
