Study on static characteristics of a novel prestress-reinforced railway subgrade by Junli Dong, Fang Xu, Qishu Zhang, Wuming Leng, Yafeng Li, Qi Yang

“…Abstract Understanding the reinforcement effect of the newly developed prestressed reinforcement components (PRCs) (a system composed of prestressed steel bars (PSBs), protective sleeves, lateral pressure plates (LPPs), and anchoring elements) is technically significant for the rational design of prestressed subgrade. A three-dimensional finite element model was established and verified based on a novel static model test and utilized to systematically analyze the influence of prestress levels and reinforcement modes on the reinforcement effect of the subgrade. …”
