Mechanische Schwingungen - Elastische Elemente des Oberbaus von Schienenfahrwegen - Teil 6: Labor-Prüfverfahren für Besohlungen von Betonschwellen

Overview

This standard series has been developed as characteristic values had to be determined in the laboratory to describe the static and dynamic properties of resilient elements used in railway tracks, taking into account the final assembly position, and to indicate them in the product description. This shall facilitate comparisons between various products and allow for calculation of the vibration reducing effect. It applies to all kinds of rail vehicle (tramways, underground trains, suburban trains, standard gauge railways). Furthermore, information is given on fitness for purpose tests of resilient elements and pointers on quality control within the framework of quality assurance are provided. However, requirements for the properties of systems with resilient elements are not included in this standard series. The recently published standards are revisions; the 2000 edition of DIN 45673-1 has been divided into several parts. DIN 45673-6 specifies laboratory test procedures for the determination the dynamic properties for elements of under-sleeper pads of concrete sleepers on ballasted tracks, taking into account the final assembly position. The tests are performed on material samples and with an easy to handle test specimen in the laboratory and not on complete sleepers; therewith the test results for the under-sleeper pads are independent of the sleeper type. This standard series has been prepared by Working Committee NA 001-03-15 AA (NALS/VDI C 15) "Schwingungsminderung in der Umgebung von Verkehrswegen" ("Reduction of vibration in the vicinity of traffic routes").
