Railway Applications - Track - Concrete Sleepers and Bearers - Part 3: Twin-Block Reinforced Sleepers
Also Known As:
DIN EN 13230-3 is a standard that falls under the category of Railway Applications - Track - Concrete Sleepers and Bearers. This particular part of the standard focuses on the technical criteria and control procedures for the design and manufacture of twin-block reinforced concrete sleepers.
Concrete sleepers are an essential component of railway tracks, providing stability and support to the rails. Twin-block reinforced sleepers are a specific type of concrete sleeper that consists of two reinforced concrete blocks interconnected by steel reinforcement. This design enhances the strength and durability of the sleepers, enabling them to withstand the heavy loads and pressures exerted by railway traffic.
The standard establishes guidelines for the design and manufacturing processes of twin-block reinforced sleepers, ensuring that they meet the necessary technical requirements and comply with industry standards. It covers aspects such as material specifications, design considerations, manufacturing techniques, quality control procedures, and testing methods.
