Railway Applications - Track - Concrete Sleepers and Bearers - Part 4: Prestressed Bearers for Switches and Crossings
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13230-4 standard provides guidelines for the manufacturing and testing of prestressed bearers used in railway switches and crossings. This particular part of the EN 13230 series focuses on bearers with a maximum length of 8.5 m, while bearers longer than this length are considered as special elements and will comply with a different standard.
The standard outlines technical criteria, control procedures, and specific tolerance limits that must be met during the production and testing of these prestressed bearers. These criteria and procedures ensure the quality and reliability of the bearers, which are crucial components in railway switches and crossings. The standard aims to provide a consistent and standardized approach to the manufacturing process, allowing for interoperability and compatibility across different railway systems.
