Geosynthetics in Railway Ballast and Track Maintenance: Drainage, Fouling and Rehabilitation
Railway track is one of the most demanding environments for geosynthetic materials. The repeated dynamic loading from passing trains — thousands of load cycles per day on busy lines — combined with the need to maintain precise track geometry and the progressive degradation of ballast through attrition and fouling create an engineering environment where geosynthetics must deliver reliable performance over decades with minimal maintenance intervention. ...
