Standard EN Sample
Railway Applications: Track - Test Methods for Fastening Systems - Determination of Attenuation of Impact Loads
Also Known As:
BS EN 13146-3:2012 is a standard that outlines laboratory test procedures for determining the attenuation of impact loads on concrete railway sleepers or bearers. The purpose of these tests is to simulate the impact loading caused by traffic on railway tracks and measure the strain induced in the sleepers. The standard provides a reference procedure and an alternative procedure, which can be used for comparing the attenuation of impact loads on concrete sleepers using different rail pads.
It is important to note that these test procedures are specifically designed for ballasted track and apply to a complete fastening assembly. The standard aims to provide a standardized approach for evaluating the performance of rail fastening systems in terms of their ability to absorb and attenuate impact loads.
