Title: EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON LATERAL RESISTANCE OF TRACK SKELETON IN BALLAST
Abstract: Lateral resistance of a track skeleton in ballast is very important for track lateral stability against thermal force in rail and against lateral loads from vehicles. Recent test results made clear the share of resistance owing to the bottom, sides, and end of ties in various track conditions. An approximate formula to analyze resistance has been proposed. On this paper, a study is reported that considers the effect of the ballast shoulder on elastoplastic and plastic-type resistance. In addition, the effect of rainfall and tie safety cap is discussed.
