The prediction models of resilient modulus and accumulative deformation were obtained based on the triaxial test results of silt subgrade soil under repeated loads. The dynamic stress of railroad silt subgrade induced by train loading was analyzed through dynamic finite element analysis and field measurements. A computational procedure of longterm settlement of railroad silt subgrade was proposed. The influences of train speed, axle load, number of load repetitions, and parameters of ballast and subgrade on the longterm settlement of subgrade were analyzed. If the rail track is seriously irregular and the subgrade compacting factor is very low, the longterm settlement of railroad silt subgrade linearly increases with the train speed, and gradually grows with the number of load repetitions, especially in conditions of high axle load and low subgrade compacting factor. At low compacting factor, the settlement of silt subgrade significantly reduces with increasing ballast thickness or subgrade compacting factor. Moreover, there is a threshold influence depth of the longterm settlement of railroad silt subgrade subjected to train loading, and the lower subgrade compacting factor, the deeper influence depth.
