Ballast is a coarse-grained material, typically ranging in size from 16 to 63 mm, that is obtained by crushing parent rocks and extensively used in heavy freight railways. Laboratory and field studies [1], [2], [3] have shown that cyclic train loading can lead to ballast particle crushing which refers to the two forms of deterioration (i.e ...
Intermediate (secondary) crushing – The purpose of intermediate crushing is to produce various coarser fractions – base coarse, for example – or to prepare the material for final crushing. If the intermediate crusher is used to make railway ballast, product quality is important.
Particle crushing is a key issue in the research of granular materials in civil engineering, mineral industry, and chemical industry. Large amounts of experiments have been carried out to investigate the crushing laws of granular materials since last century [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8].In recent decades, with the development of experimental science, some …

Ballast layer generally consists of granular rockfill materials (crushed igneous rocks) of particle size ranges between 10 and 60 mm. Earlier studies [1, 8, 55] indicated that crushing of ballast materials due to repetitive rail loading significantly affects the performance of the ballast layer, e.g., clogging the drainage system of the …
Besides the crushed rocks, ashes, sand, slag, broken bricks, clay, and other materials were also used as ballast sources. Ash was once considered a good ballast material due to providing the rapid drainage and the good contact between ash and the …

Ballast shear strength is an important criterion in selecting ballast material. Ballast shear strength is gained from the particle …
Crushable material becomes a series of different materials with the change in its grading during grain crushing, resulting in a decrease in strength and dilatancy and an increase in compressibility.
Ballast is a granular material which is placed and packed below and around the railway sleepers. Different types of ballast materials used are broken stone, sand, gravel, moorum, brickbats etc. ... It is obtained by crushing hard stones like granite, hard trap, quartzite etc. In lieu of broken stones, limestone and sandstone can also be used. ...
