Overview

EN 13230-2:2016 is the CEN European standard that specifies additional technical criteria, control procedures and test methods for prestressed monoblock concrete sleepers used in railway tracks. It complements EN 13230‑1 (general requirements) by setting out the specific manufacturing, product testing and acceptance rules needed for pre‑tensioned and post‑tensioned monoblock sleepers intended for mainline and turnout applications.

Keywords: EN 13230-2:2016, prestressed monoblock sleepers, concrete sleepers, railway track standards, CEN.

Key Topics

• Scope and purpose: Defines extra requirements for prestressed monoblock sleepers beyond Part 1 to ensure consistent performance and safety.
• Product testing: Detailed test regimes for rail‑seat and centre sections including static, dynamic and fatigue tests. The standard sets:
  • Test arrangements (support types, resilient pads, tapered packing, articulated supports).
  • Load application procedures and frequencies (dynamic tests typically 2–10 Hz; fatigue tests up to 2 million cycles).
  • Acceptance criteria for first crack, crack widths and maximum allowable loads.
• Test loads and symbols: Defines test load notations (e.g., Fr0, Frr, Fc0) and coefficients used in load calculations (k1s, k2s, k1d, k2d, kt).
• Design approval and routine tests: Requirements for initial design validation (type tests) and ongoing production quality control (routine static tests, concrete checks).
• Manufacturing rules: Procedural and inspection requirements applied during production to ensure conformity with the tested design.
• Normative references: Links to EN 13230‑1, EN 206 (concrete), prEN 13230‑6 (design) and prestressing steel standards (FprEN 10138).

Keywords: static test, dynamic test, fatigue test, acceptance criteria, manufacturing rules.

Applications and Users

• Railway infrastructure owners and asset managers specifying compliant sleepers for new build, renewal and maintenance projects.
• Concrete sleeper manufacturers for product design approval, factory production control and routine testing.
• Testing laboratories and notified bodies performing type tests, dynamic/fatigue testing and conformity assessments.
• Track designers and engineers using the standard to verify bending moments and fastening interface performance.
• Procurement teams requiring contract specifications aligned with EU Directive 2008/57/EC.

Keywords: railway infrastructure, sleeper testing, manufacturer quality control, design approval.

Related Standards

• EN 13230-1:2016 - General requirements for concrete sleepers and bearers
• prEN 13230-6:2015 - Design (characteristic bending moments)
• EN 206 - Concrete - Specification, performance, production and conformity
• FprEN 10138 (all parts) - Prestressing steels

Using EN 13230-2:2016 helps ensure prestressed monoblock sleepers meet harmonized European performance, safety and durability criteria for modern railway track systems.
