Behavior of railroads on shrink-swell soils
Shrink-swell soils are characterized by significant volume expansions and contractions during wetting and drying processes, respectively. Railroads on shrink-swell soils are subjected to huge solicitations associated with the volume change of the soil. The highly permeable ballast layer exacerbates...
