Railway Applications - Track - Noise Barriers and Related Devices Acting on Airborne Sound Propagation - Non-Acoustic Performance - Part 1: Mechanical Performance Under Static Loadings - Calculation and Test Methods
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 16727-1 standard specifically focuses on the mechanical performance of noise barriers and related devices used in railways. It specifically applies to noise barriers that consist of posts as structural elements and panels as acoustic elements, including combinations of different materials.
The scope of this standard also includes acoustic claddings of existing walls and partial or total acoustic coverings of the rail track. It emphasizes the need to test the acoustic elements in conjunction with the structural elements to accurately represent the intended use of the noise barrier.
The standard provides criteria to verify railway noise barriers and related devices based on their basic mechanical performance under standard conditions of exposure, regardless of the materials used. It takes into account the wide diversity of practices within Europe by offering a range of conditions and optional requirements. Additionally, the standard includes separate annexes to cover individual aspects of performance.
In terms of testing, the DIN EN 16727-1 standard offers methods and criteria for assessing the mechanical performance and stability of railway noise barriers under static loading conditions.
