Dynamic behaviour of a novel transition wedge composed by prefabricated reinforced concrete slabs

Abrupt variations of track stiffness in transitions from conventional to slab track, e.g., over bridges and tunnels, usually lead to passenger discomfort, vehicle and track damage and even safety issues. Therefore, to minimize this negative effect, it is very convenient to smooth the stiffness chang...
