Figure data, wherever possible, from the paper stored on a tabbed basis in the downloadable excel files.

The figures are as follows:

Fig. 13. Compensation for lateral load speading: stiffness factor as a function of depth below ground level
Fig. 14. Sleeper movements at Site 1 determined using MEMS accelerometers
Fig. 16. FE VTI model of Site 1: sleeper movements for perfect sleeper / ballast contact
Fig. 17. Maximum sleeper movements after gaps were introduced into the FE VTI model approximating movements at Site 1. UTX locations indicated by hatched blocks
Fig. 18. FE VTI model of Site 1: vertical stresses beneath sleepers before and after the introduction of gaps. UTX locations indicated by hatched blocks
Fig. 19. FE VTI model of Site 1: maximum (absolute) sleeper acceleration before and after the introduction of gaps. UTX locations indicated by hatched blocks
Fig. 20. Sleeper movements at Site 2 (flexible UTX)) determined from geophones
