A comparison on the effects of coal fines and sand fouling on the shear behaviors of railway ballast using large scale direct shear tests

Railway ballast is easily contaminated by different fouling material and the fouled ballast always causes the deterioration of railway track. Many previous studies focused on the effect of a certain kind of fouling material on ballast performance, but few studies compared the influence of different...
