index of railway ballast degradation measured as the shift in particle size distribution after loading relative to a limiting breakage boundary.

In railway engineering, ballast breakage index refers to index of railway ballast degradation measured as the shift in particle size distribution after loading relative to a limiting breakage boundary. This meaning comes from Indraratna (2005) in Géotechnique.[1]
