Abstract
The dynamic behaviors of soil under the rail traffic load are obviously different from that under the other loads such as
earthquake load and wave load. So the dynamic properties of soil under the rail traffic must be studied in specially. In this paper,
the existing studies are summarized and analyzed in several aspects such as the dynamic properties of soil by testing, the
constitutive model with considering the cyclic principal stress rotation, the calculated method for accumulated deformation of soil
and the model test. Some shortages in existing studies are analyzed and some scientific questions which are worthy to be
researched further are mentioned.
Keywords: Rail Transit; Vibration Load; Soil Dynamics; Accumulated Deformation
