摘要：In the paper, a numerical modelling experiment is presented in order to detect the temperature transition through the individual layers of the railway formation during the winter period that is their undesirable freezing. In the experiment, the temperature behaviour and the zero isotherm (0 °C) are investigated. We want to prove that the temperatures are also affected by the volume of mass in the railway formation. The modelling of new experiment has been carried out done on a low and also high embankment of single and double track railway, where the volume of material in the core of the formation is almost doubled. The experiment demonstrated that the greater is the mass of the subballast layers, the higher is the resistance to freezing due to the accumulated heat in the pre-winter period.
