Why is it important?
A series of laboratory experiments were conducted using a large-scale prismoidal triaxial apparatus that was subjected to relatively low confining pressures that is similar to confinements provided by the ballast shoulder in actual Australian track conditions.
Perspectives
The results revealed that lateral displacement decreased further by increasing geocell stiffness, and geocell with a relatively low stiffness performs very well compared to the geocell with a higher stiffness.
