MECHANISM OF SPLASH FORMATION IN BALLAST PRISM SECTION
Abstract
The article considers a mechanism of conduct of railway track ballast section in the periods between cleaning or replacement of the ballast, investigates possibilities of preventing the formation of splashes, destroying the strength of basic elements and track geometry. Measures and ways are highlighted to prevent emerging threats and risks in terms of safety operation of railways.
