Subsidence of the railway track embankment at the boundaries of water pipelines

Abstract

The article investigates the impact of water pipeline malfunctions on railway embankment parameters, specifically examining the effect of soil moisture on the deformation (settlement) of both the embankment and the water pipeline itself. To solve this problem, the finite element method was employed, and multiple variant calculations were performed using Midas software. The study determined and compared the deformation (settlement) of the embankment and water pipeline for two types of soil moisture, embankment heights of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 meters, and a combination of three types of loads.
