Course Content
|
This course covers designing of ballasted and ballastless tracks, design methods for granular layer thickness, track transitions and design principles, soil improvement techniques for track transitions, drainage in a railway track regarding geotechnical engineering, drainage materials, drainage improvement in a railway track, water effects on track substructure, and slope stability analysis. The course aligns with doctoratelevel studies by addressing the advanced principles of railway track design, including ballasted and ballastless systems, granular layer optimization, soil and drainage improvements, and slope stability, equipping students to develop innovative and sustainable geotechnical solutions for railway infrastructure.
