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

Shi, Can (author), Fan, Zheng (author), Connolly, David P. (author), Jing, Guoqing (author), Markine, V.L. (author), Guo, Y. (author)Railway ballast performance is dictated by a complex mix of mechanical properties. These effect its performance at the particle level for example in terms of particle degradation, but also at the track system level in terms of settlement and stability. Therefore this paper seeks to develop new understandings of ballast behaviour and identify...review 2023

Liu, Huan (author), Wang, Shilei (author), Jing, Guoqing (author), Yu, Ziye (author), Yang, Jin (author), Zhang, Yong (author), Guo, Y. (author)Vehicle-mounted ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has been used to non-destructively inspect and evaluate railway subgrade conditions. However, existing GPR data processing and interpretation methods mostly rely on time-consuming manual interpretation, and limited studies have applied machine learning methods. GPR data are complex, high...journal article 2023

Zhao, Wenbo (author), Qiang, Weile (author), Yang, Fei (author), Jing, Guoqing (author), Guo, Y. (author)Ballast layer defects are the primary cause for rapid track geometry degradation. Detecting these defects in real-time during track inspections is urgently needed to ensure safe train operations. To achieve this, an indicator, the track degradation rate (TDR) was proposed. This rate is calculated using track geometry inspection data to locate...journal article 2023

Wang, Shilei (author), Liu, Guixian (author), Jing, Guoqing (author), Feng, Qiankuan (author), Liu, Hengbai (author), Guo, Y. (author)In the past 20 years, many studies have been performed on ballast layer inspection and condition evaluation with ground penetrating radar (GPR). GPR is a non-destructive means that can reflect the ballast layer condition (fouling, moisture) by analysing the received signal variation. Even though GPR detection/inspection for ballast layers has...review 2022

Guo, Y. (author), Wang, Xinyu (author), Lian, Dong (author), Wan, Hongyu (author), Jing, Guoqing (author)The Sichuan−Tibet railway is built under some difficult situations, including limited ballast bed profile, frequent earthquakes and large diurnal temperature variation. These difficulties cause insufficient lateral resistance of ballasted track, which is an urgent problem for the stability and resilience of the continuously welded rail (CWR)....journal article 2022

Guo, Y. (author), Xie, Jiale (author), Fan, Zheng (author), Markine, V.L. (author), Connolly, David P. (author), Jing, Guoqing (author)The properties of railway ballast material are affected by the local geologies and climatic environments from which the parent rock is sourced. These factors can make it challenging to select the most appropriate material for railway applications. To address this issue, this paper first reviews the means of ballast selection in complex...review 2022

Jing, Guoqing (author), Aela, Peyman (author), Zhou, Qiang (author), Jia, W. (author)The use of recycled materials is a new tendency in the field of railway engineering. Steel slag aggregates (SSA) are one of the recycled materials derived from the steel industry. The application of SSA in ballasted railway tracks requires mechanical examination. In the present paper, the shear behavior of the ballast layer constructed by SSA...conference paper 2022

Guo, Y. (author), Jing, Guoqing (author), Markine, V.L. (author)Railway ballast is normally made of crushed rocks with grading (particle size distributions). Ballast is inevitably suffering from more rapid degradation. Because ballast keeps undergoing and dissipating most of the train loadings, furthermore, the train speed and freight weight are increasing, causing more intensive loadings to ballast. To...book chapter 2022

Guo, Y. (author), Shi, Can (author), Zhao, Chunfa (author), Markine, V.L. (author), Jing, Guoqing (author)Crumb rubber (CR) has been proposed to apply in the ballast or sub-ballast layer for ballast degradation mitigation and vibration (noise) reduction. The CR can change the ballast layer stiffness, which can affect the train-track-subgrade dynamic performance and cause travel comfort and safety issues. Towards this, this study aims at...journal article 2022

Guo, Y. (author), Wang, Shilei (author), Jing, Guoqing (author), Yang, Fei (author), Liu, Guixian (author), Qiang, Weile (author), Wang, Yan (author)Ballast layer condition should be more regularly and accurately inspected to ensure safe train operation; however, traditional inspection methods cannot sufficiently fulfil this task. This paper presents a method of ground penetrating radar (GPR) application to reflect ballast layer fouling levels under diverse field conditions (annual gross...journal article 2022

(author)Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a popular technology for inspecting railway ballast layer, mainly on the ballast fouling level. However, different GPR antennas with different frequencies are suitable for different inspection emphasis and diverse railway lines (weather and sub-structure). In addition, the full-scale track model (with...journal article 2022

Guo, Y. (author), Markine, V.L. (author), Jing, Guoqing (author)Railway ballast beds bear cyclic loadings from vehicles and deteriorate due to ballast particle degradation (breakage and abrasion), ballast pockets (subgrade defects), fouling (or contamination) and plastic deformation of the beds. Ballast bed deterioration changes the ballast track geometry, which leads to uncomfortable rides, exacerbates...review 2021

Guo, Y. (author), Jia, W. (author), Markine, V.L. (author), Jing, Guoqing (author)Ballast rheology is a phenomenon that describes movements of ballast particles due to the discrete nature, which eventually leads to the ballast bed fluid deformation after a long-time service. In most cases, ballast rheology is the main reason of track irregularity that leads to some track defects, e.g., hanging sleeper and mud spots....journal article 2021
