Response spectrum analysis with LUSAS determined forces in columns. Track-structure interaction analysis derived relative movements and stresses within the rails under earthquake loading. Nonlinear soil- structure analysis determined stresses in piles and pilecaps. Solid elementmodelling of the end-blocks for the proposed post-tensioning system and shell el
