EXAMINATION OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF USING CHEMICALS TO STABILIZE BALLAST

Kazimierz Towpik

Abstract

Efforts to find an effective way of slowing ballast deformation are described. Asphalt and bentonite were used in an experiment carried out by the PKP into ballast surface protection. Foreign Railways have tested chemicals to stabilize ballast. Effectiveness was rated in cases of high speeds. Problem exists in cutting the cost of this method.
