Numerical modelling of the reinforcing effect of geosynthetic material used in a ballasted railway tracks
Result description
This article deals with finite-element (FE) modelling of the reinforcing effect of the geosynthetic material used in the construction of a ballasted track. Various different designs of geosynthetic material are studied and their reinforcing effects are evaluated in terms of the total settlement reduction. Three-dimensional FE models of the reinforced railway superstructure are compared to a reference FE model with no reinforcement. Each geosynthetic material is mod- elled respecting its material properties, and the interaction with the ballast material is simulated according to its primary function.
