Railway ballast layer inspection with different GPR antennas and

Ballast layer is the crucial component for the ballasted track [1].Ballast layer differential deformation very likely results in track irregularity [2], [3].Under the train cyclic loadings after long service time, the ballast layer differential deformation possibility gradually increases, and meanwhile the ballast layer gradually loses its elasticity and drainage [4], [5], [6].

To understand the influence of ballast thickness on the critical speed, the analytical model can be used to predict the deviatoric stress at the ballast-subgrade interface as shown in Fig. 12 a. The reduction in ballast thickness from 600 mm to 300 mm had resulted in the reduction of critical speed and premature amplification of stresses.
