current practices in railway track analysis and design are reviewed and discussed in this paper. the mechanical behavior of railway track structure comprising of various components has not been fully understood due to the railway track structural complexity. although there have been some improvements in the accuracy of current track design methods in recent decades, there are still considerable...

Fastening failures have frequently been found on China high-speed railway curved tracks in recent years. Thus the influence of fastening train-track interaction track needs to be analyzed. A train-curved slab model is built, which real shape rail considered and modeled with reduced beam (RBM) theory, slabs are four-nodes Kirchhoff-Love plate elements. The present validated at first different tr...
