•Screening Car removes fines from shoulder ballast; size and shape of screens can be varied to suit conditions. •Ballast return % return can vary depending on size of existing shoulder, age of ballast and screen size; generally 80 90% ballast return is achievable. Recovery of excess ballast will reduce top -up ballast required.
Contactshoulder size within the test data reported by ERRI for “ just tamped ” track has a “ 50% less than ” lateral sliding resistance of 8.3 kN (Table 1). If the resistance of 8.3 kN is taken to

ContactAug 01, 2017 The 4 m length of the model is sufficient to generate a track model with a ballast shoulder width of up to 50 cm. As is illustrated in Fig. 5, in order to decrease the number of particles in the model and lessen the computation time as well, the left ballast shoulder which is not affected by lateral pushing of sleeper during the test was omitted.
ContactJun 06, 2020 On the other hand, shoulder height with an increment of up to 150 mm enriched the lateral resistance of the ballast track by 1.5 times by replacing the monoblock sleepers with biblock sleepers. Overall, it was proven that the interaction between crib ballast and sleepers has a more significant influence on the lateral resistance of the
ContactRail ballast typically sits on a layer of roadbase type material, since this ballast shoulder is, for the most part, the only thing restraining lateral movement of the track. by rail cars. The test is carried out in the loose density or compacted density format. For railway ballast the requirement called for is the
ContactFor track renewal trains that do not have ballast excavating machines included, workers will use a shoulder ballast cutter machine that takes excess ballast that has been pushed out during the track renewal process, into a screening and cleaning machine. The reusable ballast will be put back to the new track together with the new ballast materials.
ContactApr 01, 2017 Finally, by spreading 10 cm of ballast material over the topmost geogrid, the track ballast thickness extended to 30 cm. Afterwards, three 6 m-long assemblies were placed on the ballast layer, and both shoulder and crib ballast zones of the three mentioned parts of the test track were filled up by using extra ballast particles.
