Ballast Railroad Design: SMART-UOW Approach
Información sobre este eBook
Features:
- serves as a useful guide to assist the practitioner in new track design as well as remediating existing tracks.
- research discussed in this book has made considerable impact on the railway industry.
- resulting from collaborative research between academia and industry, incorporating sophisticated laboratory tests, computational modelling and field studies.
This book presents a comprehensive procedure for the design of ballasted tracks based on a rational approach that combines extensive laboratory testing, computational modelling and field measurements conducted over the past two decades. Ballast Railroad Design: SMART-UOW Approach will not only become an imperative design aid for rail practitioners, but will also be a valuable resource for postgraduate students and researchers alike in railway engineering.
