(2018) 'Monitoring and repair of isolated trackbed defects on a ballasted railway', Transportation Geotechnics Contents +++++++++ Data is provided as an XLS for the major results figures: 11, 12, 14 and 16. Results were obtained from processing vibration signals using the methods described in the paper. Deflection data is given in mm in a seperat tab for each figure. Each column corresponds to a each subplot e.g. A,B,C... Stiffness data is given in MN/m^2 in a seperat tab for each figure. Each column corresponds to a each subplot e.g. A,B,C...
