ABSTRACT
For modeling the development of railway track deformation, a quasi-static model describing the stress — permanent strain — cycle number — relationship of granular soils has been developed in terms of the cyclic triaxial test results from literature. The in-situ measurement carried out in the section Wittenberge-Dergenthin of the extending railway line Hamburg-Berlin is analyzed by using the developed model and the procedure. The research indicates that the essential parameters included may be assessed by using the results of the vibration table tests on soils. The comparison of the predicted settlement with the measured values shows satisfactory agreement.
