The tests are managed according to the rules of EN 13230-1. The crack width is measured following the rules
of EN 13230-1:2002 – 7.2.
The acceptance criteria for the static tests at the rail seat section are as follows:
The acceptance criteria for the dynamic test at the rail seat section are as follows:
FrB > k2d x Fro or (according to the requirements of the purchaser) Fr0,5 > k2d x Fro.
The design approval tests to be carried out on the sleeper and concrete comprise the following tests:
each concrete sleeper block shall be used for one test only.
These tests are carried out in accordance with the test arrangements shown in Figures 1 and 2 and the test
procedures in 4.2.
a) static tests
both rail seat sections on 3 sleepers for the positive bending moment;
both rail seat sections on 3 sleepers for the negative bending moment (optional test carried out at the
request of the purchaser).
b) dynamic test

4.4.2 Concrete
Product inspection shall be carried out on all sleepers required for design approval tests including dimensions
and tolerances in accordance with EN 13230-1:2002 - Table 1 and the surface finish of the sleeper in
accordance with EN 13230-1:2002 - 6.3.
The tests shall be carried out in accordance with EN 13230-1 or as required by the purchaser.
The routine tests are carried out in order to find any variation in the quality of the concrete sleeper leading to
an unacceptable quality level.
The number of samples and rates of tests are given in the quality plan for the manufacturing unit.
The routine tests to be carried out on the product and concrete are defined in this standard or another
European Standard.
This test is carried out in accordance with the test arrangement shown in Figure 1 and the test procedures
shown in Figure 3.2.

5.3 Geometry
The dimensions, cross-section, minimum inertia (vertical and horizontal) and shape shall be agreed by the
purchaser.
When determining dimensions, shape and cross-section, the following criteria shall be taken into account:
avoidance of any excessive negative moment in the steel connecting bar due to the bearing of its centre
part on the ballast;
The acceptance criteria of the steel connecting bar are defined in annex A.

The connecting bar length Lcb shall be at least greater than the distance L1 (EN 13230-1:2002 - Figure 2)
unless approved by the purchaser.
If the connecting bar is not protected against corrosion, the orientation and shape shall avoid retention of
water.
For handling purposes, the minimum distance "e" (Figure 6) shall be at least 40 mm.
7 Manufacturing
Before starting production, the manufacturer shall complete a production file for manufacturing data which
shall be submitted in confidence to the purchaser and shall include the following:
characteristic compressive and tensile strength of concrete samples after 7 days and after 28 days;
18
EN 13230-3:2002 (E)
The sample sleepers submitted for design approval tests shall comply with the manufacturing data.
The manufacturing shall ensure a tolerance of ± 5 mm in all directions on the positioning of reinforcement
grids with regard to the design position.
Welding to a connecting bar is not allowed unless the welding procedures, including controlled heating and
cooling of the whole section of the connecting bar, have been approved by the purchaser.
19
EN 13230-3:2002 (E)
Annex A
(normative)
A surface burn is represented by localized small cracks on the edges of the section. It is caused by accidental
overheating of the metal.
A surface burn is accepted if its depth does not exceed 3 mm over a maximum length of 500 mm at each end
which is embedded in the concrete.
20
EN 13230-3:2002 (E)
A tear at the end results from shearing stresses (incorrect entry, loose or worn shear blades)
A tear at the end is accepted if its depth does not exceed 20 mm and it is not present on more than 5 % of the
bars in the same batch.
This kind of cut is accepted under the same conditions as a tear at the end (A.2).
21
EN 13230-3:2002 (E)
A.4 Seam
A seam caused during rolling is a longitudinal crack which has the appearance of a line parallel to the edge of
the bar.
A seam is accepted if it appears only on the external faces of the bar and if its dimension E is greater or equal
to the minimum tolerance on thickness and:
22
EN 13230-3:2002 (E)
A.5 Split
A split at the ends of the bars can be accepted if its length does not exceed 500 mm at each end of the bar
and if its depth is less than 5 mm.
Deformation of the ends of the bar is accepted if over a length of 500 mm at each end (the part embedded in
the concrete), the deformation "d" does not exceed 5 mm over a length "l " less than 100 mm.
