Zhu, Chunyan (author), Zhang, Yuning (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), Xie, Weiming (author), Guo, Leicheng (author), Wang, Xianye (author), He, Qing (author)The sediment load in the Yangtze River downstream of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) has substantially declined in recent decades. The decrease is more profound below the TGD, e.g., a 97% decrease at Yichang, compared with that at the delta apex, 1200 km downstream, e.g., a 75% decrease, implying along-river sediment recovery. Two large river...journal article 2023

Koohmishi, Mehdi (author), Guo, Y. (author)Parent rock strength and crumb rubber modification are two critical mechanical parameters that significantly decide the ballast layer degradation subjected to train dynamic loading. Using machine learning to predict ballast degradation considering these two parameters is helpful for deciding ballasted track maintenance cycle. In the current...journal article 2023

Niu, Liubin (author), Yang, Fei (author), Deng, Xiangyun (author), Zhang, P. (author), Jing, Guoqing (author), Qiang, Weile (author), Guo, Y. (author)In practice, the assessment and treatment of rail corrugation are quantitatively based on the corrugation depth. Wheel–rail vertical forces (WRVF), as a direct reflection of wheel–rail interaction, can give expression to the corrugation depth and thus serve as a key parameter for assessing the corrugation. In this paper, we propose an...journal article 2023

Jia, W. (author), Markine, V.L. (author), Goncalves Carvalho, M.D. (author), Connolly, David P. (author), Guo, Y. (author)Differential railway track settlement can result in ballast voids, leading to sleepers that hang from the rail and are no longer supported by the ballast. These hanging sleepers are damage for track component. As a solution, this paper proposes and investigates a new concept sleeper with a wedge-shaped geometry, intended to stimulate the...journal article 2023
