Overview

SIST EN 13230-5:2016 is a European standard published by CEN that addresses railway track applications focusing on special concrete sleepers and bearers. It forms part 5 of the EN 13230 series, which comprehensively covers concrete elements used in railway infrastructure. This specific part sets out additional technical criteria, manufacturing requirements, and testing procedures for special elements - concrete components that are not covered in other parts of the series, such as specialized sleepers and bearers for unique railway track conditions.

These special elements are designed to meet the demands of specific railway applications like ballastless tracks, bridges, switches and crossings, and sections with conductor rails or check rails. SIST EN 13230-5:2016 complements the general provisions and requirements laid out in other parts of the EN 13230 standard series.

Key Topics

• Scope
  Defines the additional criteria and control procedures required for manufacturing and testing special concrete railway elements, supplementing the general requirements of the EN 13230 series.

• Types of Special Elements
  Includes prestressed and reinforced concrete elements such as:

  • Special sleepers for dual gauge, level crossings, expansion joints, guard rails, ballastless tracks, and cable accommodations.
  • Special bearers for bridges, hot-box detectors, expansion joints, and longer switches and crossings.

• Manufacturing Requirements
  The standard stipulates that production must adhere to detailed drawings and tolerances specified by the purchaser. It refers to appropriate manufacturing clauses in other parts of the series depending on element type and construction.

• Testing Procedures
  Establishes product testing protocols aligned with EN 13230-1 and related parts, involving characteristic bending moments and quality control under purchaser-specified criteria. Testing methods must be agreed upon between manufacturer and purchaser, especially for unique element features.

• Data Supplied
  Purchasers must provide comprehensive data related to element design, tolerances, bending moment requirements, and any special manufacturing or testing instructions.

• Definitions and Examples
  Annex A highlights examples of special elements, illustrating various configurations of sleepers and bearers tailored for specific track requirements.

Applications

SIST EN 13230-5:2016 is critical for railway infrastructure engineers, manufacturers of concrete track components, and quality assurance teams involved in:

• Designing and producing customized sleepers and bearers for special track situations, including ballastless track systems.
• Implementing robust quality control systems for concrete elements that must withstand unique loading and environmental conditions.
• Ensuring compliance across Europe with harmonized standards that facilitate interoperability and safety of railway track components.
• Supporting infrastructure on bridges, level crossings, switch and crossing components, and areas requiring conductor or check rails.
• Enhancing track durability and performance through specialized element design and testing.

Related Standards

SIST EN 13230-5:2016 is part of a six-part series governing concrete sleepers and bearers:

• EN 13230-1:2016 - General requirements for concrete sleepers and bearers
• EN 13230-2:2016 - Prestressed monoblock sleepers
• EN 13230-3:2016 - Twin-block reinforced sleepers
• EN 13230-4:2016 - Prestressed bearers for switches and crossings
• EN 13230-6:2016 - Design of concrete sleepers and bearers

This standard also references and relies on interoperability with testing clauses and manufacturing specifications detailed in these related parts of the EN 13230 series, ensuring a cohesive framework for railway concrete track components.
