Horizontal deformation of the High Speed Rail track: A study into the horizontal deformation of a sand embankment on asymmetrical soft soil for a hight speed rail track - case study HSL Rijpwetering

The high speed rail line in the Netherlands, constructed since 2002, is built to create a fast travel connection from Amsterdam to Rotterdam and the Belgium border. The track is designed for trains with a maximum operating train speed of 300 km/h. A great part of the structure is founded on typical Dutch soft soils consisting of Holocene clay...

Estimation of horizontal deformation rates based on tachymetric measurements: Processing measurements collected yearly in the geothermal area Bjarnarflag in North-East Iceland from 2015 to 2018

Measurements of a tachymetric network in the geothermal area of Bjarnarflag in North-East Iceland are performed during four consecutive years (2015-2018). For the yearly adjustment of the measurements an alternative iteration scheme to Baarda’s ’B-method of testing’ is proposed, because the level of significance of the F-test performed in the...
