DEVELOPMENT AND UTILITY OF GROUT FOR A TRACK STRUCTURE WITH GROUT-FILLED BALLAST

In order to reduce the track maintenance work on the existing railway lines by means of a visco-elastic material poured into the voids among ballast particles, a grout with practical value has been developed and its utility is investigated. The results reveal that a quick-hardening cement asphalt mortar employing a regulated set cement is useful for the filling grout and such a grout filling method markedly reduces the settlement of ballast while permitting large-scale work and easy corrective work for suppressing track irregularities.
