Course Content
|
This course covers components of a railway track, load types acting on a railway substructure, load transfer mechanism in a railway track, behavior of ballast layer under moving train loads, soil improvement methods for subgrade layer, resilient modulus, engineering properties of soils for predicting the behavior of railway substructure, and settlement in railway track. The course aligns with doctorate level studies by providing a comprehensive analysis of railway substructure engineering, focusing on load transfer mechanisms, ballast behavior, soil improvement techniques, and advanced predictive methods for subgrade performance and settlement under dynamic train loads.
