33、rposes of this document, the following abbreviations apply. MGT Mass Gross Tons USP Under Sleeper Pad FEM Finite Element Method fykCharacteristic value of yield strength 4 Requirements 4.1 General The main requirement of hollow sleepers and bearers is the transmission of vertical, lateral and longit

34、udinal loads of the wheel from the rail to the ballast. In addition, a minimum of 50 % of the cross-sectional area is hollow to permit containment of the following devices and/or systems for example: switch and crossing actuation, detection and locking (in the case of bearers); wheel detection; rods

35、, bars, cables, pipes, etc. A sufficient space for maintenance of these devices and/or systems shall be considered. BS EN 16431:2014EN 16431:2014 (E) 7 In this standard electrical, mechanical, chemical and corrosion tests for approval are defined which provide assurance of the capability of hollow s

36、leepers and bearers to resist repetitive loading and provide sufficient durability. Additional controls during the manufacturing process are not part of this standard and shall follow the corresponding material test standards. 4.2 General requirements The body of the hollow sleepers and bearers shal

37、l be designed in order to support the bending moments due to the traffic load. NOTE Test load, given in Table 1 and Table 2, correspond to the category C of EN 13481 and category E limited to a maximum axle load of 300 kN. 4.3 Functional requirements All types of hollow sleepers and bearers shall me

38、et the following requirements: the height between the top of the rail and the bottom of the hollow sleeper or bearer shall be defined by the customer. This height is usually the same as the neighbouring sleepers or bearers. The bottom of the hollow sleeper or bearer should be aligned at the same lev

39、el as the bottom of the adjacent sleepers and bearers in order to guarantee stability (mounting on same ballast level); the tamping area shall be defined by the customer; the weight of the hollow sleeper (including rail fastening, cover plates) shall be 100 kg/m; the maximum bottom width shall be 35

40、0 mm, and flat part of the bottom shall represent minimum 80 % of the bottom width (see Figure 1); the fastening system and the mechanical resistance of the body shall be checked according to Clauses 5 and 6 of this standard, the fastening system shall only use components from homologated fastening

41、systems according to EN 13481 series. the electrical resistance shall be checked according to 5.4, 6.3 and 7.2 of this standard. Hollow bearers shall fulfil the following additional requirements: the maximum top width in the tamping area shall be 425 mm (see Figure 1); the length of the hollow beare

42、rs shall be defined by the customer (regarding, transportation and installation limits or regulations); the position of the tamping area and the dimensions of the hollow bearer body shall be agreed between supplier and customer. Hollow sleepers in track shall fulfil the following additional requirem

43、ents: the maximum top width shall not exceed 350 mm (see Figure 1); the length of the hollow sleeper shall be the same as neighbouring sleepers.

44、r 4.4 Design requirements Cover plates on both end faces and on the top of the hollow sleepers and bearers shall be installed to prevent ballast penetration. Cover plates shall also be designed to withstand aerodynamic effects. If there are two (or more) consecutive hollow sleepers or bearers, the l

45、ateral track resistance shall be considered. If an USP is used, the USP shall be fixed on flat part of bottom area. The connection between USP and the bottom of the hollow sleeper or bearer shall be verified on the principle of the relevant USP standard (pull off test). Sufficient drainage shall be

46、incorporated in to the design. Hollow bearers shall be designed to ensure that the normal operation of actuation, locking and detection equipment is not adversely affected by temperature, ice formation, snow or water penetration. 4.5 Materials Metallic body materials shall be specified by the suppli

47、er with their relevant standards and agreed by the customer. If using other body materials, the supplier shall specify their relevant standards or their mechanical and environmental characteristics in case of the non-existence of a standard.
