Railroad ballast serves as a bed for railroad tracks and provides track stability, drainage, and support of significant loads carried by railcars. In addition, it deters the growth of vegetation and allows for track maintenance to be performed more easily. Ballast is produced from natural deposits of granite, trap rock, quartzite, dolomite or

railway ballast The function of ballast in railway track. Ballast is a common trackbed structure in the railway transport system, which is used to support track sleepers. A layer of crushed stones will be laid on the roadbed before the tracks are laid, which will then be compacted. Then sleepers and tracks will be laid.

3.1.1 Ballast functions. The acceptability of material for use as ballast must be judged by its ability to perform its intended functions. The ballast functions described by Hay and Selig and Waters include the following: Resist applied loads (vertical, lateral, and longitudinal) to maintain track position.

The Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) test is another constrained comminution process, and so should give a good representative measure of degradation beneath the track. The ACV test involves crushing an aggregate of 10mm-14mm ballast particles in a 154mm diameter and 134mm deep steel mould.

The ballast layer is the most important component of the railway track infrastructure. It is subjected to both the traffic load and the exposure to environment changes. In consequence, the ballast bed deforms and degrades highly affecting the performance of the railway track. Therefore, it is imperative to investigate in detail the deformation

Track ballast forms the trackbed upon which railroad ties (sleepers) are laid. It is packed between, below, and around the ties. It is used to bear the load from the railroad ties, to facilitate drainage of water, and also to keep down vegetation that might interfere with the track structure. Ballast also holds the track in place as the trains roll over it.
