Railway Applications - Track - Test Methods for Fastening Systems - Part 4: Effect of Repeated Loading
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 13146-4 standard outlines a laboratory test procedure specifically designed to simulate the displacement cycles caused by traffic on railway tracks. This standard aims to assess the long-term performance of direct fastening systems used in railway applications.
The test procedure described in this standard is applicable to various types of rail installations, including surface mounted rail on sleepers, bearers, slab tracks, and embedded rail. It covers the evaluation of the complete fastening assembly under repeated loading scenarios.
By subjecting the fastening system to repeated displacement cycles representative of real-life traffic conditions, this standard seeks to determine the durability and performance of the system over time. The test aims to assess the ability of the fastening system to withstand the imposed stresses, ensuring its reliability and safety in railway applications.
