Abstract:One of the essential concerns in railway systems is the lifetime of rail tracks. The safety of rail fastening systems plays a significant role in rail track longevity. A standardized laboratory test procedure is required to be followed to evaluate the performance of rail fastening systems on the European railways according to EN 13146 standard series. In this study, longitudinal rail restraints and pullout resistances were experimentally determined following EN 13146-1 and EN 13146-10, respectively. Two differ… Show more
