Abstract: This article discusses the similarities and differences of American, European and Chinese standard for railway concrete sleeper. As an integral part of railway structure, concrete sleeper which is widely used in railway engineering plays an important role in the stability of the railway structure. To ensure the quality of concrete sleeper, different regions stipulate standard for concrete sleeper on the basis of technology development and geographical environment. A comparative review on concrete sleeper standard from America, China and Europe in terms of requirements on cement, aggregate, reinforcement, manufacturing and concrete properties has been conducted. The review shows that all of three regions have similar requirement on cement in terms of compressive strength and SO3 content. The aggregate requirement for both American and Chinese standard specifies the upper (D) and lower (d) limits of sieve size while the European standard which provides more flexible requirement specifying only the ratio D/d. Both of European standard EN 13230-1 and American standard AREMA CHAPTER 30 focus more on prestressing reinforcement including wire, strand and bar, while the Chinese standard GBT 37330 has more specific requirement for manufacturing process of concrete sleeper on the basis of steel reinforcement. The value of compressive strength of concrete stipulated by GBT 37330 is the highest. This paper could provide clear understanding of the production requirements of concrete sleeper in America, China and Europe which can be used as guide for further concrete sleeper development in the future.
摘要：本文讨论美国、欧洲和中国铁路混凝土轨枕标准的相通和相异之处。混凝土枕轨是铁路结构的重要组成部分，被普遍运用于轨道工程中，在铁路结构的稳定性方面发挥了重要作用。为确保混凝土枕轨的质量，不同区域基于技术发展和地理环境规定了混凝土轨枕的标准。本文对美国、中国和欧洲在水泥、骨料、钢筋、制造和混凝土性能方面的混凝土轨枕标准进行了比较审查。审查表明，这三个地区对水泥的抗压强度和SO3含量方面要求相似。美国和中国标准对骨料的要求规定了筛分尺寸的上限（D）和下限（d），而欧洲标准更灵活，只规定了D/d的比例。欧洲标准EN 13230-1和美国标准AREMA CHAPTER 30更注重预应力钢筋，包括线材、钢绞线和条钢，而中国标准GBT 37330除了对钢筋有要求，对混凝土轨枕的制造过程有更具体的要求。GBT37330标准下的混凝土抗压强度值最高。本文有助于理解美国、中国和欧洲混凝土轨枕的生产要求，从而指导未来枕轨发展。
