Due to high transversal forces and resulting transversal displacements of sleepers in curve areas with tight radius and / or high curve speed frequently time- and cost expansive maintenance works like removal and reinstallation or tamping of ballast are required.
A cost reducing alternative problem-solution is the complete bonding of the ballast bed by agribond. Due to the bonding the aggregates are joined to a load bearing and flexible structure. Maintenance will be reduced considerably and operational safety will be increased. Improvement of transverse displacement resistance by 10 - times of the regular resistance.
