Laboratory assessment of rubber grids reinforced ballast under impact testing

A. R. Siddiqui et al.

Summary: This study investigates the use of rubber grids made from discarded conveyor belts to enhance the performance of ballast tracks. Impact tests were conducted on ballast specimens stabilized with different grids to assess their effectiveness in reducing deformation, breakage, and vibrations. The results show that the inclusion of rubber grids can significantly improve the performance of ballast tracks.

Influence of Rubber Inclusion on the Dynamic Response of Rail Track

Yujie Qi et al.

Summary: Heavier and faster trains have led researchers to explore better ways to absorb the increasing energy and reduce track deterioration. Rubber products are gaining attention for their high damping and energy absorbing capacity. This study evaluates the performance of a rail track with a synthetic energy absorbing layer (SEAL) made of rubber and mining waste. The amount of rubber in the SEAL affects the track's dynamic behavior, with higher amounts leading to increased deformation, energy absorption, damping ratio, and reduced track degradation and lateral movement. The optimal amount of rubber is found to be 10% by mass.

Geotechnical characteristics of a Rubber Intermixed Ballast System

Chathuri M. K. Arachchige et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the concept of using rubber granules from waste tyres as elastic aggregates blended with traditional ballast particles to improve the performance of rail tracks, forming a Rubber Intermixed Ballast System (RIBS). The research indicates that RIBS with over 10% rubber content consistently reduce dilation under changing confining pressures and effectively control ballast fouling within the granular matrix. The results also show that rubber particles ranging from 9.5 to 19 mm with similar angularity to ballast aggregates are advantageous in reducing the breakage of load-bearing larger aggregates.

Deformation and degradation behaviour of Rubber Intermixed Ballast System under cyclic loading

Chathuri M. K. Arachchige et al.

Summary: This paper evaluates the characteristics of Rubber Intermixed Ballast System (RIBS) by conducting large-scale triaxial tests with varying rubber contents. The results show that increasing rubber content improves grain configurations, reduces particle deformation, and enhances energy absorption capacity and damping properties.

The role of recycled rubber inclusions on increased confinement in track substructure

Buddhima Indraratna et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the use of a hybrid track system with recycled rubber elements can effectively reduce displacement of the ballast, control the distribution of vertical stress, and decrease vibration and ballast breakage. This provides a unique solution for strengthening railways to accommodate heavier and faster freight trains.
