When railroad tracks extend from a subgrade to a bridge, the abrupt variation of the stiffness or track moduli can lead to transition problems. This is mainly due to a major settlement difference of the foundation and can cause a discontinuity of the track structure. If handled inappropriately, these problems would eventually accelerate the degrada
