Thermal Transfer Effects of CRTS II Slab Track Under Various Meteorological Conditions

Abstract

With the evolution of climate change, the thermal transfer effects of ballastless track in high-speed railways under complicated environmental conditions becomes increasingly important, governed by a number of meteorological factors, including solar radiation, ambient temperature, wind speed and direction, humidity, and many others (Matias SR, Ferreira PA, Constr Build Mater 322:126445, 2022).
