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.
