Railway applications - Track - Test methods for fastening systems - Part 1: Determination of longitudinal rail restraint
This document specifies the laboratory test procedure to determine:a) the maximum longitudinal force that can be applied to a rail, secured to a sleeper, bearer or element of slab track by a rail fastening assembly, without non-elastic displacement of the rail occurring, or the longitudinal stiffness at a specified longitudinal displacement of a specimen of embedded rail with an adhesive fastening system, and, for any type of fastening,b) the shear displacement and slip data required for track-bridge interaction calculations.
