Abstract
Ballast gluing to improve lateral resistance of tracks is analysed through the use of a
numerical discrete element method including a cohesive contact model of CZM type.
The results of the simulations are consistent with laboratory tests. Different
configurations of ballast gluing are then tested in order to optimise the process in terms
of gluing area, gluing depth or cohesion value.
