EFFECTS OF RUBBER-PAD UNDER CONCRETE TIE ON PULVERIZATION OF BALLAST, VIBRATION AND NOISE

To decrease the pulverizing and mud pumping of ballast, and to control vibration and noise, a rubber pad has been developed for installation under concrete ties. The vibration and lateral resistance of the ballast, vibration of the entire track structure, and the noise near the track were measured in test and mainline tracks. The durability of the pad under the tie was also investigated.
