Les désordres dans les plates-formes argileuses proviennent dans la généralité des cas de la présence d'eau dans la zone où celles-ci sont en contact avec le ballast. Les mouvements verticaux de la traverse au passage des trains provoquent une action de pompage à la surface des moules, sous l'effet duquel l'argile sous-jacente, ramollie par l'eau remonte dans le ballast. On constate en surface des «remontées de glaise» caractéristiques plus particulièrement au droit des joints et il se forme dans la plate-forme [...] des «poches d'eau» : la voie repose alors sur une base molle dans laquelle elle s'enfonce au passage de chaque train [...] 1, record 1, French, - base%20molle
