Railway transitions experience differential movements due to differences in track system stiffness, track damping characteristics, foundation type, ballast settlement from fouling and/or degradation, as well as fill and subgrade settlement. This differential ...

<p>This paper is about a simpler design of cell for triaxial testing apparatus that was developed (Hoek and Franklin,1968), primarily to speed up the testing procedure.</p>

This paper discusses the basic requirements of a triaxial cell for field use and describes the actual cell which was designed to meet these requirements.
