Scope and Contents
Summary
The strength, deformation and degradation behaviour of ballast and the effectiveness of geosynthetics in stabilising recycled ballast have been described in this book. Relevant experimental procedures and theoretical aspects are discussed, and a new stress-strain constitutive model for ballast is proposed. --Publisher website.
