چکیده
|
Construction of railway track embankment over a soft subgrade will bring the necessity of using soil improvement methods for bearing capacity and settlement criteria satisfaction. as a practical improvement method, railway embankment filled with geofoam blocks is studied in this paper. first; a bilinear stressstrain model developed in flac2d to simulate geofoam embankment behavioral model. secondly, the stability of a specified height range of geofoam embankments under static and dynamic train surcharges is investigated. finally; parametric studies are executed to monitor the variation of track dynamic settlement due to embankments height, subgrade un-drained strengths (cu) and train surcharge amplitude and velocity. results are verified. such parameters can significantly affect the track dynamic settlement. using multivariable regression and least squared methods; analytical equations are derived to quantify an estimation of track dynamic settlement based on participating parameters.
