GEOSYNTHETIC PROTECTION OF BALLAST AND SUB-GRADE IN RAILWAY FOUNDATION STRUCTURES

The paper examines the use of separators and protected membranes and geocomposites in the substructure of railway foundation engineering. It looks at the various performance and cost benefits for plain separator geotextiles, protected membrane geocomposites and protected drainage layer, membrane and protector geocomposites. The benefits for service life, track access, capital investment versus concrete sub-grades and speed of construction are also compared. For the covering abstract see ITRD E117244.
