stress on the ballast

Explanation:
Is how I suggest it's worded.

Don't worry about it being ON a mat; that way, the ballast underlay is more resilient to the stresses imposed on it when a train runs over it, and there is less abrasion to wear the ballast into dust!

Thanks so much david, I was thinking of load also but it did not sound right with my DIN amendment.
