Summary
This paper describes the dynamic behavior of the subgrade layer in a concrete slab
track of a high speed line. The main focus is on the ground vibrations generated by
high speed trains, how these vibrations may be linked to the deflection of the track,
the stress paths, and the stress-strain behaviour experienced by the subgrade in
which large strains are induced, and how these strains influence the track response in
a nonlinear manner. A finite element model is prepared to simulate the two
dimensional slab track system dynamically in the time domain. Numerical results
emphasize the limitations of the linear model for the large dynamic strains in the
subgrade over the large elastic stresses produced. Based on the dynamic effects
found in this study, some considerations for taking into account the nonlinear
behavior in the soil are suggested.
