Effect of dowel joints on dynamic behavior of train–discrete floating slab track system

Dowel joints are installed at the end of floating slabs and can effectively reduce the discontinuity of deformation between adjacent floating slabs. The shear spring model had been proposed for modeling the dowel joints of the floating slab track, while the constraint effect of dowel joints on the b...
