Design of ballasted railway track foundations using numerical modelling: Part I: Development

In this paper, a new design method is developed for ballasted railway track foundations that must support high-speed trains and heavy axle loads. The proposed method is intended to prevent the two most common track failures; namely, progressive shear failure of the track subgrade and excessive plast...
