33、stresses at the railwheel contact, the severity of which is governed by local track characteristics, vehicle type and other operational conditions. The repeated application of these stresses results in the development of fatigue cracks usually referred to as RCF manifested as head checks, gauge corn

34、er cracking, or squats. Although rail metallurgy offers a key mitigation measure against such fatigue degradation, there are no rail steels currently in use that could fully withstand the repeated application of such contact stresses. Furthermore the majority of rails in track today, despite their a

35、dequate but lower fatigue resistance, have an appreciable residual 5BS EN 132315:2018EN 132315:2018 (E)life span, which makes it more economic to maintain them in an appropriate manner to extend their life rather than to change them.Management of rail profile and condition is therefore a prerequisit

36、e for safe and cost effective operation of railways. Predictable work at least in a medium time horizon organized in a strategic way needs to be defined to extract the maximum benefit from existing technologies and to guide the industry for future development. However, it is essential to ensure that

37、 the chosen approach provides enough flexibility to adapt to changing situations in both senses: increased requirements for maintenance due to higher loads and dynamic forces, reduced requirements for maintenance due to lower loads (improved vehicle characteristics) and better performing rails (redu

38、ced fatigue development).The life expectancy of a rail is influenced by its interactions with the other parts of the traintrack system. The faster and more frequent train services, higher axle loads and new generations of vehicles with greater primary yaw stiffness have significantly increased the c

39、ritical track forces that promote more rapid degradation of the rail (and wheel) leading to more frequent and costly maintenance interventions and even rail renewal. Significant research into rail metallurgy has resulted in the development of rail steels with much higher resistance to wear and RCF.

40、Nevertheless rail maintenance by reprofiling is an essential requirement for efficient and safe functioning of railway track. The combination of rail grade selection and maintenance strategy considering local track and traffic characteristics ensures effective control of any kind of rail surface def

41、ects.4.2 Background of rail reprofilingReprofiling strategy is a planned maintenance activity usually defined by the infrastructure maintainer. In theory it is independent of available technologies, but in practice it is often influenced by the equipment that is easily accessible to or proposed by t

42、he contractors.Work is programmed depending on damage having reached predetermined intervention thresholds such as corrugation depth, deviation from the transverse profile and depth of cracks.Alternatively work is executed in cycles which are derived from experience and influenced by availability of

43、 machines, track possession times and similar factors such as traffic, usually expressed in mega gross tonnes (MGT), months, seasons, etc. Often work is combined with other maintenance activities (e.g. after rail replacement, after tamping or when the line is closed for other work, etc.).Before the

44、execution of rail maintenance work, specifications (i.e. the results that need to be achieved) shall be defined for: defect repair (metal removal); longitudinal profile (tolerance); transversal profile (target and tolerance); surface condition (roughness, facet widths, etc.).Rail reprofiling as desc

45、ribed in this document refers to rail rectification using currently available technologies such as grinding, milling, planing, etc.4.3 Specific reprofiling strategyIn addition to the use of the appropriate rail steel grade the consecutive reprofiling cycles are also dependent on other important para

46、meters, such as existing reprofiling capacity (e.g. maximum/minimum metal removal rates, sections lengths, etc.) and available working intervals (possession times, route reprofiling capabilities, etc.). For the development of an optimized reprofiling strategy these parameters shall also be taken int

47、o account.6 BS EN 132315:2018EN 132315:2018 (E)Shorter reprofiling intervals result in smaller metal removal requirements, consequently in such short periods the development of RCF and irregularities such as corrugation and resulting track deterioration is limited.NOTE For some Infrastructure Manage

48、rs in Europe, the preferable strategy is preventive cyclic reprofiling with small metal removal requirements applying profiles with moderate gauge corner relief. If the interval between reprofiling cycles is appropriately matched with the initiation and subsequent growth of cracks, metal removal can

49、 be adjusted for a onepass regime which is operationally the best option.In order to maintain RCFsensitive sections economically, a certain damage level can be accepted (as intervention threshold or as remaining depth after treatment). However, this damage needs to be kept low enough to be removed preemptively and thereby avoiding safety issues. A rail reprofiling strategy requiring metal removal rates of up to 0,6 mm at the critical gauge area and a maximum of 0,2 mm in the centre of th
