Measurement, Assessment, Analysis and Improvement of Transition Zones in Railway Track

Transition zones in railway tracks are locations with considerable changes in the vertical stiffness of the track support, which can be found near bridges, culverts and tunnels. In such locations, the stiffness variation and the differential settlement of tracks (uneven settlement of the track on the embankment and of the engineering structure)...

Corrective countermeasure for track transition zones in railways: Adjustable fastener

Transition zones in railway tracks are the locations with considerable variation in the vertical stiffness of supporting structures. Typically, they are located near engineering structures, such as bridges, culverts, tunnels and level crossings. In such locations, the variation of the vertical stiffness and the differential track settlement...

Modelling of the long-term behaviour of transition zones: Prediction of track settlement

Transition zones in railway tracks are the locations with considerable changes in the vertical support structures. Typically, they are located near engineering structures, such as bridges, culverts, tunnels and level crossings. In such locations, the variation of the vertical stiffness and the differential settlement of the track (when the...
