SCOPE
• State of the Art • New European Standard EN 13230 Part 6 “Concrete sleepers – Design” • SPENNCON means for concrete sleeper design
• “Smart sleepers” with cast-in sensors
est une Société du groupe
Sleepers design – State of the Art There is existing documentation for the design of Concrete sleepers Best known are: UIC leaflet 713 R dated November 2004 « Design of monoblock concrete sleepers » AREMA Chapter 30 « Ties »
There is a general agreement among European experts that these calculation methods: Are efficient for determining bending moments at rail seat section Are not efficient for determining bending moments at centre section

New European Standard EN 13230 Part 6 “Concrete sleepers – Design New European Standard EN 13230 Part 6 « Concrete sleepers - Design » will be submitted for final vote from all European, Standard bodies in 2013 Standard provides 2 ways for designing concrete sleepers: Experimental method from successful experience in tracks Theoretical method with the use of finite elements calculation In addition, both methods can be mixed

SPENNCON means for concrete sleeper design First step is to check that: geometry of the sleeper + position/quantity of prestressing tendons + manufacturing process will fulfill required bending moments For this purpose, Excel sheet at SPENNCON for: Calculation
of losses according to Eurocode 2 for prestressing, concrete shrinkage, etc Takes into account: – Position of each prestressing tendon – Concrete strength – Manufacturing process – Etc

SPENNCON means for concrete sleeper design Second step in to check homogeneity of the prestress inside the concrete sleeper For this purpose, Finite Element tool at SPENNCON for: Calculation

New “Smart sleepers” with cast-in sensors New European Standard « Concrete sleepers and bearers – Design » with many European Railway Administrations Accurate
knowledge for sleeper « real » bending moments at rail
seat Little knowledge for sleeper « real » bending moments at centre section Little knowledge for bearers « real » bending moments
Proposal from CONSOLIS Rail Branch is to measure « real » bending moments in track with the use of dedicated sleepers/bearers

New “Smart sleepers” with cast-in sensors
• State of the art is to use strain gauges for the measurement of stresses in the concrete sleepers. • Strain gauges are glued on the lateral surface of the sleepers • Durability of gauges is reduced

“Smart sleepers” with cast-in sensors
Vertical sensors for load measurement
Horizontal sensors for bending moment measurement
• System is to use standard sleepers with sensors embedded in the concrete
• Why a fiber optical sensor (rather than a strain gauge) Cast into the concrete Insensible to electromagnetic perturbation Dynamic measures up to 15kHz Long sensor

“Smart” sleepers with cast-in sensors
• Goal: provide to our clients a tool for better understanding of the track behaviour Utilization
for R&D programs
– Provides measured values for the coefficients proposed in the EN standard 13230-6 “Concrete sleepers and bearers – Design” • Wheel load distribution on sleepers • Effect of speed on sleepers • Effect of rail pad stiffness on sleepers • Measurement of bending moments in bearers – Measure the effect of USP, Soft rail fastening, etc – Measure the effect of temperature on resilient materials (Rail pads, USP, etc) – Measure the influence of maintenance operation (rail grinding, ballast tamping…) Utilization
for track monitoring with measurement of the sleeper bearing irregularities on ballast est une Société du groupe
