A. Train Loads in DeepEX Software
Within DeepEX software, all possible external loads close to our excavation site (construction, traffic, cranes, buildings, train
tracks etc.) can be simulated as either linear loads on the ground surface (point loads), or distributed surface loads.
With the Train Loads option, we offer some automation for the creation of train embankments and the train loads. A train
load can be added graphically on the model area. In the related dialog, the user can select if the embankment weight will be
included in the calculated surcharge, the number and location of the tracks and the track load, as well as the method for the
calculation of the train loads pressures on the wall.

B. Train Surcharge Methods
In the Train Loads dialog, we can select the method for the calculation of the train load surcharges on the adjacent retaining
wall (AREMA approach, Elasticity Equations, 2-Way distribution angle and more).
Figure: Automatic Surcharge Calculation Methods
The default option (AREMA) calculates the surcharges of the embankment and train loads on the wall using the Boussinesq
equations, with an elastic load multiplier of 2 according to the AREMA specifications.

C. Embankment Options
In the Train Loads dialog, we can select whether to use an embankment or not. In case we select to use the embankment, we
can define the embankment position, thickness, geometry, and weight. The embankment will be handled as an external strip
load within the software calculations.

D. Track Positions and Track Load Magnitudes
The set of the track positions and surcharge is a user-defined process. In the software we have implemented some standard
options as mentioned below:
Cooper E80:

Single Track with Embankment (This option deletes the other tracks and leaves only 1 that can be edited).
