What is it about?

This article presents comprehensive laboratory tests to investigate the deformation responses of railway ballast. Also, it studies the benefit of geogrids in decreasing ballast settlement and breakage

Why is it important?

The negative effect of coal fouled ballast has not been studied in detail. Also, the use of geogrids to compensate for the adverse effect of fouling is examined.

Perspectives

This article potentially attract intention of railway practising engineers in track design
