This European Standard is one of the series EN 13230 “Railway applications Track Concrete sleepers and bearers“, which consist of the following parts: Part 1: General requirements Part 2: Prestressed monoblock sleepers Part 3: Twin-block reinforced sleepers Part 4: Prestressed bearers for switches and crossings Part 5: Special elements According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. w w w . b z f x w . c o m BS EN 13230-5:2009 EN 13230-5:2009 (E) 4 Introduction This part of EN 13230 defines the specific requirements relating to special elements. These are additional requirements to the EN 13230-1 and are necessary to have a complete standard dealing with special elements. These special elements are prestressed concrete special elements as special sleepers or special bearers and reinforced concrete special elements. They are generally used within specific domains of the track for ballastless tracks, for bridges, or with check rails for instance. This part of EN 13230 defines additional technical criteria and control procedures related to the design and manufacture of special elements and complements the requirements of EN 13230-2, EN 13230-3 and EN 13230-4. w w w . b z f x w . c o m BS EN 13230-5:2009 EN 13230-5:2009 (E) 5 1 Scope This part of EN 13230 defines additional technical criteria and control procedures related to the design and manufacture of special elements. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

All the tolerances specified in EN 13230-1:2009 which relate to the concrete elements, the rails, the fastening system and gauge shall be specified by the purchaser. The purchaser shall specify the positive and negative design bending moments to be applied: a) at the rail seat section; b) at the centre section. 5 Product testing EN 13230-1:2009, Clause 7 shall apply for any special element supporting rails for railway track applications. Depending on the type of element and whether the concrete is prestressed or reinforced, the appropriate following clauses shall be for application: w w w . b z f x w . c o m BS EN 13230-5:2009 EN 13230-5:2009 (E) 6 a) either EN 13230-2:2009, Clause 4; b) or EN 13230-3:2009, Clause 4; c) or EN 13230-4:2009, Clause 5. If possible, the special parts of the element shall be checked according to the requirements of the purchaser and the quality plan of the manufacturing unit. If not, the manufacturer shall have a special agreement with the purchaser in order to define the testing method. 6 Manufacturing Depending on the type of element and whether the concrete is prestressed or reinforced, the appropriate following clauses shall be used: a) either EN 13230-2:2009, Clause 5; b) or EN 13230-3:2009, Clause 7; c) or EN 13230-4:2009, Clause 6.
