<p>In this paper data about actual infrastructure performance of two railway tracks in the mostly populated area of the Netherlands are correlated with regional<br />climate data in order to model future performance and apply appropriate interventions to cope ...

As with most highway bridges, 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 ...

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>The paper discusses the geodynamic challenges and technical countermeasures in the shield tunnel projects passing under an existing railway line, especially for soft ground conditions. Three main issues needed to be solved by the engineering community: ...

The paper addresses precast tunnel segments for the Line T02 of Saronno-Malpensa railway (Italy). After the experimental determination of the material properties, the structural behavior of the lining is simulated with FE analyses based on Non Linear Fracture ...

<p>Many currently available methods for strengthening of subsoil require an interruption of railway traffic. Track and sleepers have to be removed ballast, sub-ballast and often the embankment fill have to be excavated in order to perform the strengthening ...
