reknown for its superior geometric stability assurance capability
has significantly contributed to the rise and development of high-speed railway technology. It is a key factor in ensuring the safety and smooth operation of high-speed railway. However
its limited adjustment capacity imposes stringent requirements on the deformation control of the underlying foundation. In recent years
some sites have experienced track upheaval deformation
which disrupt normal high-speed railway operations and present a new technical challenge. Therefore
investigating the heaving of ballastless tracks on high-speed railway subgrades holds important engineering significance. This study begins by systematically summarizing the mechanisms behind subgrade heaving in ballastless tracks
identifying three major contributing factors: foundation lithology
subgrade fill characteristics
and environmental conditions. Next
techniques including rail fastener adjustment and track gradient adjustment methods
are thoroughly reviewed
with their advantages
disadvantages
and applicable conditions outlined. Countermeasures and suggestions for effective prevention of upward deformation in the stages of railway surveying
design
construction
and operation are proposed. Finally
combining with a typical project case of a high-speed railway
the causes of its upheaval deformation; and remediation maintenance strategies are analyzed. The results can provide technical support for the prevention and remediation of upheaval deformation; diseases of high-speed railway subgrades.
