Abstract:On the basis of recent research, a review has been carried out on the experimental determination of the mechanical parameters of the materials used as ballast material. Considerable attention is given to the well-founded selection of input data for the calculation, i. e. quantitative characteristics of the elastic properties of the materials used to form the ballast layer, which is treated as a continuous medium. It appears that this approach makes it possible to assess correctly the influence of grain (grain … Show more
