EN 13230-1:2009

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

This part of EN 13230 defines technical criteria and control procedures which have to be satisfied by the
constituent materials and the finished concrete sleepers and bearers, i.e.: precast concrete 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.

Bahnanwendungen - Oberbau - Gleis- und Weichenschwellen aus Beton - Teil 1: Allgemeine Anforderungen

Dieser Teil der EN 13230 legt die technischen Kriterien und Kontrollverfahren fest, denen die Baustoffe und
Fertigerzeugnisse, wie z. B. aus Beton gefertigte Gleis- und Weichenschwellen und spezielle Schwellen
(Sonderformen) für Eisenbahngleise, genügen müssen.
Die Hauptaufgabe von Gleis- und Weichenschwellen aus Beton ist die Übertragung vertikaler und horizontaler
Lasten von den Schienen auf den Schotter oder eine andere Tragschicht. Während des Einsatzes sind sie
auch der Feuchtigkeit ausgesetzt, die zu schädlichen chemischen Reaktionen und zu Frostschäden führen
kann.
In dieser Norm werden mechanische Prüfungen festgelegt, die die Gebrauchstauglichkeit und Dauerhaftigkeit
von Gleis- und Weichenschwellen aus Beton gegenüber wiederholten Belastungen sicherstellen. Zusätzliche
Kontrollen sind für das Herstellungsverfahren erforderlich und Versuche sind durchzuführen, um sicherzustellen,
dass der Beton im Laufe der Nutzung keine Schädigung durch chemische Reaktionen und Frost
erfährt.

Applications ferroviaires - Voie - Traverses et supports en béton - Partie 1 : Prescriptions générales

La présente partie de la Norme européenne EN 13230 définit les critères techniques et les procédures de
contrôle auxquels doivent satisfaire les matériaux constitutifs et les produits finis en béton, c'est-à-dire les
traverses en béton préfabriqué, les supports pour les appareils de voie, ainsi que les supports particuliers
destinés aux voies ferrées.
La principale prescription relative aux traverses et supports en béton concerne la transmission des charges
verticales, latérales et longitudinales depuis les rails jusqu’au ballast ou à tout autre support. Lors de
l’utilisation ils sont aussi exposés à des dommages dus au gel et à l’humidité, ceci peut conduire à des
détériorations par réactions chimiques au sein de la traverse.
Dans la présente norme, des essais mécaniques sont définis pour fournir l’assurance que les traverses et
supports ont la capacité de résister à des charges répétitives et ont une durabilité suffisante. De plus, des
contrôles sont mis en place dans les processus de fabrication ainsi que des essais pour s’assurer que le
béton ne subira pas de dégradations en service dues à des réactions chimiques ou au gel.
