Numerical Simulation of the Dynamic Response of Ballasted Track Overlying a Tire-Reinforced Capping Layer

Numerical Simulation of the Dynamic Response of Ballasted Track Overlying a Tire-Reinforced Capping Layer

This paper describes a 3D finite element (FE) model developed to understand the dynamic response of a ballasted track in which the underlying capping layer is reinforced using recycled rubber tires. Track deflection, the lateral spreading of ballast and vertical stress transmitted from the capping l...
