Railroads and airport runways:
Schematic example   BACK
                     
The dynamic load provided by the passage of trains quickly produces deformation of the ballast   An airport runway on soft soil may undergo premature deformation   The dynamic load provided by the passage of trains quickly produces deformation of the ballast and of the base layers on soft subgrade.


An airport runway on soft soil may undergo premature deformation due to lack of lateral confinement of the aggregate and to pumping of fines from the subgrade.
