Abstract

Transition zones in railway tracks are areas with significant variation of track properties (e.g., foundation stiffness) encountered near structures such as bridges and tunnels. Due to strong amplification of the response, differential settlements develop in time as depicted in Fig.1. Consequently, transition zones require frequent maintenance which cause:
• reduced availability of the track
• increased operational costs

The objective is to gain understanding by modelling the behaviour, and ultimately identify mitigation solutions.
