Degradation of railway ballast aggregate is ensued from breakage of single particle as well as from abrasion of angular corners. The present study evaluates the change in morphological characteristics as well as particle size distribution of ballast aggregate degraded under applied impact loads to further illuminate the degradation …

Ballast is an essential layer of the railroad track structure, and provides primarily drainage and load distribution. In general, ballast aggregates are considered as uniformly graded, angular shaped with crushed faces. However, various ballast aggregate gradations and particle shapes are in use yet their effects on ballast performances …

Railroad ballast is a uniformly-graded coarse aggregate placed between and immediately underneath the crossties. Large variations in the source properties of new ballast aggregate materials provided by suppliers resulted in the need to understand how these variations affect ballast performance and quality.
