- Abstract
The article presents a study which aims to help the progression towards more cost-effective railway infrastructure in South Africa. Rail transport company Transnet Freight Rail (TFR) carried out Multi-Depth Deflectometers (MDDs) test at the Amandelbult test site in Limpopo Province in 2004. The study shows that the peak deformation's magnitude for a formation layer was larger in 2004 compared to 2014 for all the layers under consideration which include clay, rockfill and crusher run.
