“…The high modulus value of 860 MPa of the UGM can therefore be explained by the presence of the treated capping layer. According to Chupin et al (2021), the modulus of the ballast layer depends on the layer on which it is laid on. The value of 250 MPa obtained here is consistent with the range of values between 120 and 630 MPa considered by Fortunato (2005).…”

“…The assumption made in this model of considering the track ballast as a homogeneous elastic layer was deemed relevant as long as the reversible behaviour of the structure (i.e. under one load cycle) is addressed (Chupin et al, 2021).…”

“…The article mentioned above (Chupin et al 2021) only shows an example of validation of the ViscoRail tool. The structure under consideration in this previous paper includes only elastic layers and the comparison between the simulations and measurements is carried out for the vertical accelerations only.…”

“…The structure under consideration in this previous paper includes only elastic layers and the comparison between the simulations and measurements is carried out for the vertical accelerations only. It is stated in (Chupin et al 2021) that the ViscoRail tool has been broadly and successfully compared to in situ measurements but without showing the results (apart from the few ones mentioned right above). In the present paper, the comparison between the simulations and measurements is presented into details and addressed for several types of structure whose one incorporates a viscoelastic bituminous layer.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
