Koohmishi, Mehdi (author), Guo, Y. (author)The occurrence of ballast contamination or fouling frequently results in a sudden decline in the capacity of railway ballasted tracks. Considering the various sources of ballast fouling, clay is the most severe one for causing a drastic reduction in the drainage capacity of the ballast layer. In the current study, we utilized a large-scale...journal article 2023
