Comprehensive geophysical railway embankment survey at moscow railway route

Principal tracks of the Moscow Railway were built in 1860-1870. Before WWI first serious reconstruction took place, when the second track was built. During WWI and WWII west-bound routes suffered severely and the traces of the urgent repairings are still obvious in the embankment. The embankments are built mainly in complicated geological conditions in marshy areas. Under constant vibration and dynamic loading irreversible deformations take place resulting in gradual ground displacements.
