Analysis of the railway network operations safety, with of different obstacles along the route, by the study of Buffon-Laplace type problems: the case of infrastructure with irregular hexagonal lattices
In this paper we use an approach based on a Buffon-Laplace type problem for an irregular hexagonal lattice and obstacles to study some problems about analysis of the railway network operations safety in the presence of different obstacles on the route.
Design Procedures for Soil-Lime Stabilization for Road and Railway Embankments. Part 2-Experimental Validation
AbstractAs detailed in Part 1, the most common Italian Technical Specifications refer to different design methodologies for design of lime-soil mixtures, some being quite different from those internationally adopted. Therefore, it seemed appropriate to the Authors to compare these methodologies, via a wide experimental program.It is shown that the Italian methodology of the National Road Agency is different not only from those used in Italy, but also from the main international standards. The experimental results highlight that a revision of that methodology is needed in order to bring it into line with what is prescribed by the European standard.
Design Procedures for Soil-Lime Stabilization for Road and Railway Embankments. Part 1-Review of Design Methods
AbstractWhen selecting the appropriate materials for constructing road infrastructures, an important way for minimizing both the economical and environmental impact is to make use of lime for treating soils that are not suitable for road or railways construction.Advances in lime stabilization technique allowed the successful use of this technique also for improving the bearing capacity of the subgrade, with noticeable savings on both aggregate and disposal charges.In this paper a review of internationally adopted design methods for soil-lime mixture is presented, in order to compare testing methods and requirements of the adopted criteria, as discussed in Part 2.
