Analyzing the Influence of Soil-Structure Interaction on High-Speed Rail Embankments: A Plaxis 3D Simulation Study
Abstract: The introduction of high-speed rail (HSR) in India has seen an increase in travel demand and areduction in travel time. However, the stability and deformation characteristics of railwayembankments and soil structure interaction behavior under high-speed design requirements forIndian soil conditions need to be predicted using simplified 3-D finite element modelling. Theobjective of this research is to analyze the rigid ballast-less and flexible ballast-based high-speed railtrack embankments for various critical conditions …

Assessment of Deflection for Deck Slab Bridge
Abstract: The deflection of deck slab is found with respect to bending stress and normal stress and compared with its permissible value. Span of the deck slab plays an important role in deflection. As span increases more bending takes place hence we get more deflection against bending stress. Also normal stress increases due to increase in span since more load is involved. Width of deck slab is kept constant and span …

Contributing factors in the initiation of failure of asphalt concrete
Abstract: As long as the asphalt concrete pavement is under service, signs of failure usually initiate and the distress types start showing throughout the service life. The asphalt concrete pavement practices repeated tensile and shear stresses through the vehicular loading. In the present study, the contributing factors in the initiation of failure under repeated flexural stresses have been detected. Slab samples of Asphalt concrete have been prepared at the laboratory by …
