Railway Applications - Track - Noise Barriers and Related Devices Acting on Airborne Sound Propagation - Non-Acoustic Performance - Part 2-1: Mechanical Performance Under Dynamic Loadings Due to Passing Trains - Resistance to Fatigue
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 16727-2-1 standard specifies the requirements for testing and verifying the mechanical performance of noise barriers and their components when subjected to dynamic loadings caused by passing trains, specifically focusing on their resistance to fatigue.
The standard allows for the use of both analytical methods and tests to verify the ultimate and serviceability limit states and the fatigue resistance of the noise barriers or their components. Analytical methods can be used to determine characteristic values and design values, but when sufficient information is not available, test results may be combined with the analytical procedure.
The standard outlines different types of test procedures that can be used. These include tests on small samples to define detail categories not covered by Eurocodes (verification procedure A), tests on a global element to define the limit state against fatigue (verification procedure B), and full-scale tests under representative loading conditions to determine fatigue resistance for defined loading conditions (verification procedure C). Additionally, the standard specifies that a static load test of the components should be performed according to EN 16727-1 in order to verify the assumptions of the design model.
