• Track Geotechnology and Substructure Management- Temporarily Unavailable Never before has a practicing railway engineer been able to turn to a book for a comprehensive treatment of track geotechnology. The goal of this book is to help the performance of a railway track system resulting from a complex interaction of system components in response to train loading. At present there are various sources of information and knowledge available concerning track geotechnology. However, this body of knowledge has not been readily available to the practicing railway engineer because it only exists in unwritten form and in a diverse assortment of reports, theses, informal records, and publications which are often not accessible or are not suitable for application in maintenance practice. "Track Geotechnology and Substructure Management" provides, for the first time, a definitive guide to the design, construction, maintenance and renewal of railway track as they relate to geotechnology.
