Railway applications - Track - Concrete sleepers and bearers - Part 1: General requirements
 N EN 13230-1

Annotation

This part of the EN 13230 series defines technical criteria and control procedures which need to be satisfied by the constituent materials and the finished concrete sleepers and bearers, i.e.: precast concrete sleepers, twin-block reinforced sleepers, bearers for switches and crossings, and special elements for railway tracks.

The main requirement of concrete sleepers and bearers is the transmission of vertical, lateral and longitudinal loads from the rails to the ballast or other support. In use, they are also exposed to frost damage and to moisture, which can result in detrimental chemical reactions within the sleeper.

In this standard mechanical tests are defined which provide assurance of the capability of sleepers or bearers to resist repetitive loading and provide sufficient durability. In addition, controls are placed on manufacturing processes and tests to ensure that the concrete will not suffer degradation in service through chemical reaction and frost damage.

Железнодорожные применения - Путь - Конкретные спящие и предъявители - Часть 1: Общие требования

Эта часть ряда EN 13230 определяет технические критерии и процедуры контроля, которые должны быть удовлетворены составляющими материалами и законченными конкретными спящими и предъявителями, т.е.: сборные конкретные спящие, двойной блок укрепил спящих, предъявителей для переходов и перекрестков и специальных элементов для железнодорожных путей.
