This paper presents a study on the enhanced performance of ballasted tracks through the implementation of geogrids. A series of large-scale direct shear tests and impact tests was conducted with three distinct types of geogrids. The behavior of ballast was evaluated in terms of shear stress–strain responses and stress concentration using stress sensing sheets. Additionally, a micromechanical analysis utilizing the discrete element method was simulated on ballast assemblies with different geogrid reinforcements. The shear stress–strain responses of ballast simulated from DEM are comparable with those measured from large-scale direct shear tests, indicating that the inclusion of geogrid can enhance the performance of ballast by increasing its shear strength, as well as reducing the vertical displacement and the load distribution with depth. Micromechanical analysis was performed to investigate the influences of geogrids on contact force distribution, coordination number and orientation of contact which could not be captured in a laboratory environment. The use of geogrids in ballasted tracks certainly shows promise for sustainable and efficient railway infrastructure, as evidenced by the experimental and DEM-based findings, offering valuable insights into optimizing track stability and longevity.
