Track ballast - Wikipedia

Track ballast is the material which forms the trackbed upon which railroad ties are laid. It is packed between, below, and around the ties (also known as “sleeper). It is used to bear the compression load of the railroad ties, rails, and rolling stock; to facilitate drainage; and keep down vegetation that can compromise the integrity of the combined track structure. Ballast also physically holds the trac

Use of steel slag as railway ballast: A review - ScienceDirect

2022年7月1日  The higher dead weight of track can lead to the requirement of heavier sections in case of railway bridges. Further, the transportation costs of heavier steel slag can be slighter higher when compared to granite. However, the use of steel slag can lead to a reduction in the cost of ballast by about 25.3% [50].
