Original Abstract

Railway ballast is used worldwide in the structure of permanent way to transfers load from sleepers to subsoil. Understanding of the ballast beghaviour is therefore important for safe design and maintenance of the railway tracks. Many experiments were perfomed to obtain its mechanical parameters and there are also several attempts to simulate the measured behaviour by some cpomputer models.
