Non-Linear Behaviour of Geomaterials in Railway Tracks under Different Loading Conditions
Abstract The resilient behaviour of the geomaterials used in railway tracks, particularly the ballast layer, is mostly non-linear and depends mainly on the loading stress path. However geomaterials are frequently considered as linear elastic in...

Railways Track Characterization Using Ground Penetrating Radar
Abstract A proper quality control of the railway track condition and its monitoring since the construction phase are key factors for a long life cycle and for an efficient maintenance policy. For this purpose, suitable techniques, such as...

Contextual Form Based Coding as a Tool in Urban Design Process-chalai, Thiruvananthapuram as a Case
Abstract The present urbanized world is on a vogue to remold its impression and character into someone else's. The new impressions often carries a complete disconnect from its roots which gradually loses its self and identity and never has a...

Dynamic Shakedown Analysis of Flexible Pavement under Traffic Moving Loading
Abstract Shakedown theory is often used to analyze the plastic behaviors of structures subjected to variable complex loads. It is an effective way to predict the maximum load under which the failure due to plastic collapse or excessive permanent...

Safety Assessment of Implemented NextGen Operational Improvements
Abstract Since most NextGen Operational Improvements (OIs) have been implemented recently, there is no traditional safety statistics, such as the number of accidents and/or incidents available to perform their formal safety evaluations. In this...

Explanation of Dry Density Distribution Induced by Compaction through Soil/Water/Air Coupled Simulation
Abstract Most onshore earth structures, such as earthen dams, embankment, and river levees, are constructed by compaction. Transportation geotechnics also includes construction of compacted earth structures, such as road and railway embankment....

Effects of Principal Stress Axis Rotation on Unsaturated Rail Track Foundation Deterioration
Abstract Precise assessment of cyclic plastic deformation of rail track subgrade is essential in designing cost effective rail tracks. Plastic deformation of rail tracks is often underestimated due to the omission of effects of principal stress axis ...

Numerical Analysis of Horizontal Moisture Barriers in Pavements Constructed on Expansive Soils
Abstract Expansive soils experience large volume changes during the process of drying and wetting, and thus cause many problems to civil infrastructure such as roughness and cracks in pavements and uneven settlements in light-weight structures....

Small Strain Behaviour of a Compacted Subgrade Soil
Abstract The small strain behaviour is a key indicator for assessing the performance of compacted fills. The initial compaction conditions i.e. water content and applied energy, govern compaction effectiveness and, thus, the structure and matric...

A Lessons-learned System for Construction Project Management: A Preliminary Application
Abstract Construction companies are project-based organizations, since much of their knowledge is generated on site, from projects they carry out. In fact, projects are an important source of expert know-how and organizational knowledge, but...
