Standard EN Sample
Railway Applications: Track - Concrete Sleepers and Bearers - Prestressed Monoblock Sleepers
Also Known As:
BS EN 13230-2:2016 is a standard that falls under the EN 13230 series and specifies technical requirements and control procedures for the production and evaluation of prestressed monoblock sleepers used in railway track construction. The standard sets forth criteria related to the manufacturing process, as well as testing procedures to ensure the quality and durability of the sleepers.
The objective of BS EN 13230-2:2016 is to ensure that prestressed monoblock sleepers meet the necessary performance and safety requirements for use in railway applications. The standard outlines the various technical specifications that must be adhered to during the manufacturing process, including material properties, dimensions, tolerances, and surface characteristics.
Additionally, the standard provides guidelines for conducting tests on the prestressed monoblock sleepers, covering areas such as load resistance, fatigue strength, and long-term performance. This ensures that the sleepers are capable of withstanding the expected railway loading conditions and will maintain their structural integrity over time.
