Railway applications - Track - Noise barriers and related devices acting on airborne sound propagation - Non-acoustic performance - Part 2-1: Mechanical performance under dynamic loadings due to passing trains - Resistance to fatigue

This European Standard describes the basic requirements for the verification of ultimate and serviceability limit states and the resistance to fatigue either of the noise barrier or its components by means of analytical methods and/or tests.
Analytical methods can be used for the determination of the characteristic values and design values.
Where sufficient information is not available, the analytical procedure may be combined with results from tests.
The following types of test procedures may be used:
- test on small samples for defining detail categories, which may not be covered by Eurocodes (verification procedure A provided within the present European Standard);
- test on a global element for defining the limit state against fatigue (verification procedure B provided within the present European Standard).
In order to verify the assumptions of the design model, a static load test of the components shall be performed according to prEN 16727-1.
Alternatively, fatigue resistance of the noise barrier components can be determined for defined loading conditions by mean of full scale tests under a given representative loading (verification procedure C provided within the present standard).

Ta evropski standard opisuje osnovne zahteve za preverjanje končnih in mejnih stanj uporabnosti ter odpornosti proti utrujanju protihrupne ovire ali njenih komponent z uporabo analitičnih metod in/ali preskusov.
Analitične metode je mogoče uporabljati za ugotavljanje karakterističnih in konstrukcijskih vrednosti.
Če ni na voljo dovolj informacij, je analitični postopek dovoljeno združiti z rezultati preskusov.
Uporabljata se lahko naslednji vrsti preskusnih postopkov:
– preskušanje majhnih vzorcev za določanje kategorij podrobnosti, ki morda niso obravnavane v evrokodih (postopek preverjanja A, podan v tem evropskem standardu);
– splošno preskušanje za določanje mejnega stanja utrujanja (postopek preverjanja B, podan v tem evropskem standardu).
Za potrditev domnev konstrukcijskega modela je treba izvesti preskus statične obremenitve komponent v skladu s standardom prEN 16727-1.
Odpornost proti utrujanju komponent protihrupne ovire je mogoče določiti tudi za opredeljene pogoje obremenitve z izvedbo preskusov polnega obsega pri določeni reprezentativni obremenitvi (postopek preverjanja C, podan v tem standardu).

EN 16727-2-1:2018 (E) 4 Introduction Passing trains generate an air pressure wave, which impacts on noise barriers installed alongside the track. It is important that noise barriers withstand this impact without any part of them becoming detached or displaced in an unsafe manner; they should be designed for the specified requirements in ultimate, serviceability and fatigue limit states. Where no design rules or sufficient experience with components are available, the design should be based on calculation and/or tests carried out in a way that provides information on the properties of the component for design in ultimate and serviceability limit states and the resistance to fatigue. This document applies for noise barrier components or for noise barriers considered as a whole. SIST EN 16727-2-1:2018

In particular, the following aspects shall be considered: a) behaviour of all relevant details and the whole panel for alternating loading conditions and the corresponding frequency range; b) failure of fasteners subject to multiple axial stress condition, e.g. shear from global bending and tension from local load effects; c) interaction of bending, vertical shear and torsion; d) behaviour of the panel and the bearings at the support area considering secondary load paths; e) fatigue resistance of profiled, perforated and coated thin metal sheets; f) consideration of different material-combinations, e.g. aluminium linked with stainless steel; g) fatigue strength of cold-formed elements and cross-sections considering local load effects. The analytical verification of concrete elements shall be performed in accordance with the EN 1992 series for bending, shear and torsion as well as for bearing conditions at the uprights and for the anchoring of the reinforcement. In particular, the following aspects shall be considered: h) anchoring of the longitudinal reinforcement at the end support taking into account the anchoring length according to the EN 1992 series; i) verification of the ultimate limit state and the fatigue limit state for the shear force and the end anchorage at the end of the panel for alternating actions; j) verification of the ultimate limit state against fatigue of the porous layer of the panel (if any) against bonding failure in the interface and separation from the supporting concrete layer. 6 General requirements for testing The following information shall be provided before testing: a) scope for the use of the noise barrier or of its components; b) relevant railway and construction parameters (designed speed, traffic density, train types, maximum wall height, minimum distance to track, spacing of uprights, foundation type, wind zone, etc.); c) description of the noise barrier or components and of the global and local load transfer and bearing behaviour; d) information about the torsional behaviour (torsional stiffness and stresses) of the component caused by end twisting; e) drawings of the relevant noise barrier components including all details and information about tolerances; f) photographic information of all construction details; g) informative documents and certificates of used materials and fasteners, and the required material tests and the relevant standards to define the material properties; SIST EN 16727-2-1:2018



EN 16727-2-1:2018 (E) 9 h) description of test programme and test specimens; the structural supporting of the elements shall be in accordance with on-site conditions; i) method for the evaluation of test results and for the determination of the characteristic and design values of resistance against fatigue in accordance with the EN 1999 series and Annex B of this document; j) description of the load arrangement and load application: the load arrangement should be comparable with site conditions taking into account the effect of distributed loads due to the pressure wave and torsional deformations caused by the flexibility of the supporting posts; the influence of torsion may be neglected in testing if at critical points the increase of stresses due to torsion does not exceed 10 % of the corresponding stresses due to bending; k) test measuring setup with information about measurement devices for deformations and strains; l) specification of the representative loading in the case of use of verification procedure C; m) specification of the state of the sample: new or aged, condition of ageing (e.g. natural or accelerated, chemical, mechanical, UV radiation, etc.). 7 Test arrangement and evaluation of results 7.1 General In order to verify that the structural model used in verification procedures A and B is in accordance with the real behaviour of the element, two deformation-controlled static tests according to EN 16727-1 shall be carried out, taking into account the different mechanical behaviour of the two sides of the element (conventionally denoted as “facing the train” and “facing the receivers”). The sample under test shall be equipped with strain-gauges, in order to verify that the mechanical model used gives realistic data about the stresses at significant points. For the verification procedure A, at least one fatigue test with N = 5 x 106 load-cycles using the design values of the action due to aerodynamic excitation, if necessary under consideration of inertia forces, shall be performed. This test shall allow an assessment of the deformation behaviour and of the possible degradation of the deformation and load-bearing behaviour of the element at the limit state against fatigue. Fatigue tests for defining detail properties (verification procedure A) and fatigue tests according to verification procedure B shall be force-controlled. Alternatively, tests of whole panels (verification procedure B) may be deformation-controlled, but with checks and, if necessary, adjustment of the load amplitude at specified intervals (e.g. every 50 000 load-cycles). Where whole elements are tested, in addition to the measurement of deformations, strain gauge measurements are required in order to determine relevant stress ranges at all critical points. Special preliminary tests are required where fatigue tests with whole elements are performed neglecting effects of torsion caused by the flexibility of the substructure. In this case, the fatigue resistance determined by verification procedure B shall be modified where the reduction due to torsion shall be verified by an appropriate mechanical model or by separate tests. In order to determine the torsional effects, tests for the determination of the torsional rigidity and the shear and warping stresses shall be carried out. For this purpose, an end twist shall be applied on the element equal to 1,25 times the maximum end twist resulting from the maximum opposing deformation of the uprights (boundary conditions given in the design specifications). The element is allowed to be assessed without taking torsion effects into account, if at the serviceability limit state the stress in the panel (and the fastener) due to torsion is less than 10 % of the stress due to pure bending. If there was no failure of the element during these tests, it is allowed to be used for further tests at the limit state against fatigue

serviceability limit states and the resistance to fatigue either of the noise barrier or its components by
means of analytical methods and/or tests.
Analytical methods can be used for the determination of the characteristic values and design values.
Where sufficient information is not available, the analytical procedure may be combined with results
from tests.
The following types of test procedures may be used:
— test on small samples for defining detail categories, which may not be covered by Eurocodes

conditions by mean of full scale tests under a given representative loading (verification procedure C
provided within the present standard).

5 Analytical verification
Where the design can be performed by analytical models, the verification for the foundations, posts and
panels should be in accordance with relevant Eurocodes or ETA.
Steel and aluminium elements should be designed in accordance with the relevant part of Eurocode 3
and Eurocode 9. In particular, the following aspects should be considered:
a) behaviour of all relevant details and the whole panel for alternating loading conditions and the
corresponding frequency range;
b) failure of fasteners subject to multiple axial stress condition, e.g. shear from global bending and
tension from local load effects;
c) interaction of bending, vertical shear and torsion;
d) behaviour of the panel and the bearings at the support area considering secondary load paths;
e) fatigue resistance of profiled, perforated and coated thin metal sheets;
f) consideration of different material-combinations, e.g. aluminium linked with stainless steel;
g) fatigue strength of cold-formed elements and cross-sections considering local load effects.
The analytical verification of concrete elements should be performed in accordance with EN 1992 series
for bending, shear and torsion as well as for bearing conditions at the uprights and for the anchoring of
the reinforcement. In particular, the following aspects should be considered:
h) anchoring of the longitudinal reinforcement at the end support taking into account the anchoring
length according to the EN 1992 series;
i) verification of the ultimate limit state and the fatigue limit state for the shear force and the end
anchorage at the end of the panel for alternating actions;

j) verification of the ultimate limit state against fatigue of the porous layer of the panel (if any) against
bonding failure in the interface and separation from the supporting concrete layer.
6 General requirements for testing
The following information shall be provided before testing:
a) scope for the use of the noise barrier or of its components;
b) relevant railway and construction parameters (designed speed, traffic density, maximum wall
height, minimum distance to track, spacing of uprights, foundation type, wind zone, etc.);
c) description of the noise barrier or components and of the global and local load transfer and bearing
behaviour;
d) information about the torsional behaviour (torsional stiffness and stresses) of the component
caused by end twisting;
e) drawings of the relevant noise barrier components including all details and information about
tolerances;
f) photographic information of all construction details;
g) informative documents and certificates of used materials and fasteners, and the required material
tests and the relevant standards to define the material properties;
h) description of test programme and test specimens. The structural supporting of the elements shall
be in accordance with on-site conditions;
i) method for the evaluation of test results and for the determination of the characteristic and design
values of resistance against fatigue in accordance with EN 1999 series and Annex B of this
European Standard;
j) description of the load arrangement and load application. The load arrangement should be
comparable with site conditions taking into account the effect of distributed loads due to the
pressure wave and torsional deformations caused by the flexibility of the supporting posts. The
influence of torsion may be neglected in testing if at critical points the increase of stresses due to
torsion does not exceed 10 % of the corresponding stresses due to bending;
k) test measuring setup with information about measurement devices for deformations and strains;
l) specification of the representative loading in the case of use of verification procedure C;
m) specification of the state of the sample: new or aged, condition of ageing (e.g. natural or accelerated,
chemical, mechanical, UV radiation, etc.).
7 Test arrangement and evaluation of results
7.1 General
In order to verify that the structural model used in verification procedures A and B is in accordance
with the real behaviour of the element, two deformation-controlled static tests according to
prEN 16727-1 shall be carried out, taking into account the different mechanical behaviour of the two
sides of the element (facing the train and the receiver). The sample under test needs to be equipped

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
oSIST prEN 16727-2-1:2016
prEN 16727-2-1:2015 (E)
with strain-gauges, in order to verify that the mechanical model used gives realistic data about the
6
stresses at significant points. For the verification procedure A, at least one fatigue test with N = 5 x 10
load-cycles using the design values of the action due to aerodynamic excitation, if necessary under
consideration of inertia forces, has to be performed. This test shall allow an assessment of the
deformation behaviour and of the possible degradation of the deformation and load-bearing behaviour
of the element at the limit state against fatigue.
Fatigue tests for defining detail properties (verification procedure A) and fatigue tests according to
verification procedure B should be force-controlled. Alternatively, tests of whole panels (verification
procedure B) may be deformation-controlled, but with checks and, if necessary, adjustment of the load
amplitude at specified intervals (e.g. every 50 000 load-cycles). Where whole elements are tested, in
addition to the measurement of deformations, strain gauge measurements are required in order to
determine relevant stress ranges at all critical points.
Special preliminary tests are required where fatigue tests with whole elements are performed
neglecting effects of torsion caused by the flexibility of the substructure. In this case, the fatigue
resistance determined by method B shall be modified where the reduction due to torsion has to be
verified by an appropriate mechanical model or by separate tests. In order to determine the torsional
effects, tests for the determination of the torsional rigidity and the shear and warping stresses have to
be carried out. For this purpose, an end twist shall be applied on the element equal to 1,25 times the
maximum end twist resulting from the maximum opposing deformation of the uprights (boundary
conditions given in the design specifications). The element is allowed to be assessed without taking
torsion effects into account, if at the serviceability limit state the stress in the panel (and the fastener)
due to torsion is less than 10 % of the stress due to pure bending. If there was no failure of the element
during these tests, it is allowed to be used for further tests at the limit state against fatigue.
Depending on the load application constructions and the load frequencies, possible inertia influences
from the load application construction on global element tests should be taken into account.
Effects of tolerance on post dimensions should be considered at the test planning stage.
