Transition zones in railway tracks are areas with considerable variation of track properties (e.g., foundation stiffness) which may cause strong amplification of the response, leading to rapid degradation of the track geometry. Two possible indicators of degradation in the sup ...
Transition zones in railway lines are areas between different track structures such as the transition from conventional track (ballasted track) to slab track, to a tunnel or a viaduct. The main feature of a transition zone is that it exhibits a dramatic change in structural behav

Transition zones are locations of discontinuity in the support,
such as stiffness transition zones in the ballasted track (close
to bridges, culverts and tunnels). These zones necessitate
special attention, mainly because they:
- Require frequent and expensive maintenance activit

Transition zones in railway tracks require a high maintenance frequency which leads to high costs and delays. To better understand the underlying mechanisms, a one-dimensional model is used, consisting of an infinite Euler-Bernoulli beam resting on locally inhomogeneous viscoelas
