Railway applications - Track - Noise barriers and related devices acting on airborne sound propagation - Non-acoustic performance - Part 1: Mechanical performance under static loadings - Calculation and test methods

This draft European Standard applies only for noise barriers composed of posts as structural elements and panels as acoustic elements (fabricated for example from metal, timber, plastic or concrete panels, etc.), including accidental combination of these materials. It also applies for acoustic claddings of existing walls and partial or total acoustic coverings of the rail track.
Acoustic elements need to be tested together with the structural elements to represent the noise barrier as in the intended use.
This draft European Standard provides criteria to verify railway noise barriers and related devices according to basic mechanical performance under standard conditions of exposure, irrespective of the materials used. A range of conditions and optional requirements is provided to allow for the wide diversity of practice within Europe. Individual aspects of performance are covered separately in the annexes.
This draft European Standard provides test methods and criteria for the assessment of railway noise barriers with respect to their mechanical performance and stability under static loading.

EN 16727-1:2018 (E) 3 European foreword This document (EN 16727-1:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 256 “Railway applications”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2018, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2018. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document is one of the series EN 16727, Railway applications — Track — Noise barriers and related devices acting on airborne sound propagation — Non-acoustic performance, as listed below: — Part 1: Mechanical performance under static loadings — Calculation and test method [this document]; — Part 2-1: Mechanical performance under dynamic loadings due to passing trains — Resistance to fatigue; — Part 2-2: Mechanical performance under dynamic loadings caused by passing trains — Calculation method; — Part 3: General safety and environmental requirements. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

EN 16727-1:2018 (E) 4 Introduction Noise barriers and related devices acting on airborne sound propagation are exposed to permanent, variable or accidental actions as set out in EN 1990. This document permits the evaluation of the effects of forces due to self-weight, air pressure load and impact loads that can act on the noise barrier and/or its components. Under combinations of permanent, variable, and accidental actions, it is essential that the structural behaviour of the noise barrier are evaluated with the aim of preventing excessive stress of material, separation of elements from structural posts and excessive deflections that may affect their acoustic effectiveness and robustness. Different materials used in the design of a noise barrier are due to be chemically compatible and not adversely affect each other’s characteristics. With specific reference to accidental actions caused by ballast stones or other debris from passing trains, minor damage may be tolerated but attention will be paid to safety, environmental and functional requirements. Shatter properties are treated in EN 16727-3. In circumstances where there is a lack of design information, or doubt about the parameters required to undertake tests or calculation for verification of a design, additional surveys and geotechnical investigations are essential so as to obtain the required values in order to ensure the safety and serviceability of the complete noise barrier. In some countries, the dynamic force of snow ejected by equipment used to clear the rail track in winter will be considered. SIST EN 16727-1:2018



EN 16727-1:2018 (E) 5 1 Scope This document applies only to noise barriers composed of posts as structural elements and panels as acoustic elements (fabricated for example from metal, timber, plastic or concrete panels). It also applies for acoustic claddings of existing walls and partial or total acoustic coverings of the rail track. It is important that acoustic elements are tested together with the structural elements to represent the noise barrier as in the intended use. This document provides criteria to verify railway noise barriers and related devices according to basic mechanical performance under standard conditions of exposure, irrespective of the materials used. A range of conditions and optional requirements is provided to allow for the wide diversity of practice within Europe. Individual aspects of performance are covered separately in the annexes. This document provides test methods and criteria for the assessment of railway noise barriers with respect to their mechanical performance and stability under static loading. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.

EN 16727-1:2018 (E) 8 The verification shall be undertaken by calculation, testing, or a combination of calculation assisted by testing. Where structural characteristics may vary within the total length of the noise barrier, single segments need to be considered for the evaluation of mechanical performance. In order to perform tests or calculations within the segment, a portion shall be considered (e.g. structural elements plus acoustic elements) that shall be stable on its own. The actions defined in this European standard for permanent, variable and accidental loads are based on assumptions in compliance with the appropriate Eurocode requirements, which are expected to result in slightly conservative designs (in terms of safety). In the absence of specific Eurocodes, existing Eurocodes for buildings or bridges are referred to. Data from model studies or prototype test measurements for determination of wind pressure coefficients can be used, if undertaken for the specific noise barrier in question. This standard approach is also acceptable for checking the integrity of noise barriers designed according to earlier codes and specifications. Where there are ambiguities in interpretation of the requirements, the most conservative interpretation (in terms of safety) shall be adopted. 5.2 Assumptions for the design General assumptions for the design shall be as follows: — the design temperature range during construction and use
