Investigation of railroad ballast particle breakage

Abstract: This paper summarizes the authors' up-to-date results in the research topic of railway ballast particles' breakage test with individual laboratory test. In the past few years there were a lot of railway rehabilitation and maintenance project in Hungary, as well as abroad. The largest part of world's railways has traditional superstructure, i.e. they are so called ballasted tracks. The railway ballast is the highest mass in the railways' superstructure. Nowadays, it is a naturally fact that there is enough quan… Show more

“…This leads to enhanced fatigue and degradation of tracks [3], particularly in stiffer subgrades such as crossings and bridges [4,5]. Elevated stresses in the granular layer further amplify the deterioration of the track over time [6], leading to excessive vertical and horizontal deformations [7], fragmentation of the ballast [8], accumulation of debris in the ballast, and obstruction of drainage [9]. A multitude of field and laboratory tests have been carried out to examine the effects of Under Sleeper Pads (USPs), with the majority of them indicating favorable results.…”

“…Experimental studies have investigated the effects of particle destruction, clay and diesel pollutant infiltration, and the impact of moving trains on the ballast state in papers such as [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The impact of moving trains becomes particularly relevant when transporting bulk cargoes such as coal and grain [9], as well as with high values of axle loads [10,11].…”

“…In relation to the above-mentioned technologies and technical solutions, we can mention some special ones such as application of noise and vibration damping layers and elements [2][3][4][5][6]; ensuring lower stress in the railway permanent ways' that result and ensure lower elastic and plastic deformation in the track as well as in the layer structure [7][8]; techniques which provide special work processes, e.g. tamping of wide sleepers or side tamping that does not disturb the dense, compacted sub-ballast layer [9][10]; new and newer technologies ensuring decreased dynamic effects that can result in subsidiary failures (maybe cracking, fracturing, breaking) in the tracks' elements [11]; minimizing the wear of track elements (mainly the rails') [12] and lowering the ballast breakage [13][14][15][16]. The determination of the geometrical deterioration process is also quite important [17][18] for the ability to predict maintenance work.…”
