Abstract

The depth of the compacted layer of soil in the subgrade is found to resist the load coming from the train. The compaction of sub-grade soil is done with respect to its OMC & MDD. Where soil is of poor bearing capacity, stabilization of soil is done to get more bearing capacity. Here soil (Clayey) is taken, which is locally available & with respect to its bearing capacity depth of the compacted layer of soil is found to resist the load coming from the top.

Keywords

Load of the train, Compacted layer of soil, Bearing capacity of soil.
