Abstract

The efficiency of rail transport is crucial to compete with other transportation modes. Thus, over the years railway operators demand increasing rolling stock axle load and speeds. Hence, railway infrastructure improvements are crucial to withstand persistent increasing of bearing capacity expressed in significant dynamic load and cumulative traffic load.
