Railway applications - Track - Concrete sleepers and bearers - Part 1: General requirements
This European Standard defines technical criteria and control procedures which have to be satisfied by the constituent materials and the finished concrete elements, i.e. : precast concrete sleepers, bearers for switches and crossings, and special bearers for railway tracks.
Bahnanwendungen - Oberbau - Gleis- und Weichenschwellen aus Beton - Teil 1: Allgemeine Anforderungen
Dieser Teil der Europäischen Normenreihe legt die technischen Kriterien und Prüfverfahren fest, denen die Baustoffe und Fertigerzeugnisse, wie z.B. aus Beton gefertigte Gleis- und Weichenschwellen und spezielle Schwellen (Sonderformen) für Eisenbahngleise, genügen müssen.
Die Hauptaufgabe von Gleis- und Weichenschwellen aus Beton ist die Übertragung vertikaler und horizontaler Lasten von den Schienen auf den Schotter oder eine andere Tragschicht. Während ihrer Liegedauer im Gleis sind sie auch der Feuchtigkeit ausgesetzt, die zu schädlichen chemischen Reaktionen und zu Frostschäden führen kann.
In dieser Norm werden mechanische Prüfungen definiert, die die Gebrauchstauglichkeit und Dauerhaftigkeit von Gleis- und Weichenschwellen aus Beton gegenüber wiederholten Belastungen sicher stellen. Zusätzliche Prüfungen sind für das Herstellungsverfahren erforderlich und Versuche sind durchzuführen, um sicherzustellen, dass der Beton im Laufe der Nutzung keine Schädigung durch chemische Reaktionen und Frost erfährt.

SIST EN 13230-1:2004
Scope This part of prEN 13230 defines technical criteria and control procedures which have to be satisfied by the constituent materials and the finished concrete sleepers and bearers, i.e.: precast concrete sleepers, bearers for switches and crossings, and special elements for railway tracks. The main requirement of concrete sleepers and bearers is the transmission of vertical, lateral and longitudinal loads from the rails to the ballast or other support. In use, they are also exposed to moisture which can result in detrimental chemical reactions within the sleeper and to frost damage. In this standard, mechanical tests are defined which provide assurance of the capability of sleepers or bearers to resist repetitive loading and provide sufficient durability. In addition, controls are introduced in the manufacturing process and tests set out which will ensure that the concrete will not suffer degradation in service through chemical reaction and frost damage. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).

The track is an assembly of transverse concrete sleepers or bearers secured to the rails by means of a fastening system and supported by the ballast or other support. It is characterized by the gauge of the track, the rail profile, the inclination of the rails and the spacing of the concrete sleepers and bearers. 4.2 Loading 4.2.1 Loads The track is subjected to repeated loads in three different directions, generally applied simultaneously: - vertical loads depending on support conditions,
- transverse loads from guiding forces, transverse resistance, etc. - longitudinal loads from acceleration and braking, thermal stresses in continuous welded rail, etc. SIST EN 13230-1:2004
