Performance of Aggregates in Railroads and Other Track Performance Issues

E. T. Selig / C. J. Roner / G. P. Raymond / R. J. Bathurst / D. L. Boucher

The 12 papers in the report deal with the following areas: effects of particle characteristics on behavior of granular material; performance of large-scale model single tie-ballast systems; application of petrographic analysis to ballast performance evaluation; production and testing of ballast; track evaluation and ballast performance specifications; evaluation of ballast materials using petrographic criteria; CP rail specification for ballast; subgrade and ballast requirements for 125-ton cars; track components for 125-ton cars; railroad track structure performance under wheel impact loading; component identification and inventory of U.S. Army railroad trackage; use of geosynthetics in the design of railroad tracks.
