Guard Rail / Handrail: Structural Design - Civil

Mar 12, 2017 . By equating the component's applied Bending Moment to its Flexural Strength, the span of rail, L, (or post spacing) can be solved. The stronger the component, the bigger the value of span it can attain. The least span attained by any component will be the design post spacing or the permissible spacing for the railing system.

Are You Aware of the Load Requirements for your Railing

Most imported railings systems are provided with a .050” or .083” wall. Load requirements will be better served with 1-1/2” schedule 40 pipe size (1.90” diameter with a .145” wall). 1.90″ Diameter pipe with thickness options. On paper, post spacing is a function of the minimum yield for design of the material, the load requirement ...

Guide Rails Thomson Thomson

When specifying linear guides for your applications, there are two types of guide rails from which to choose: square (profile) and round (shafting). Your application will dictate which types of linear guide rails should be used. Square guide rails are well suited to high-load applications that require good rigidity and high accuracy. These linear guide rails achieve their performance …

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why choose railrail-ability?

    Rail-Ability provides a fully encompassed service to clients taking projects from the initial concept stage, undertaking mechanical design and systems development, right through to the manufacture, testing, commissioning and certification of the finished working product, all from our central midlands factories.

  • How to choose the right type of rail?

    A good choice or a right combination of post and horizontal rail sections will yield a design that is both strong and economically practical. By equating the component's applied Bending Moment to its Flexural Strength, the span of rail, L, (or post spacing) can be solved.

  • What is a guide rail?

    These guide rails are an ideal solution for cost-sensitive applications and is designed as a drop-in replacement with industry standard envelope and hole patterns. Caged and non-caged carriages utilize the same rail design, enabling efficient use of inventory since only one rail type needs to be stocked for either carriage type.

  • What are the special considerations when designing a rail bridge?

    Special considerations apply to the design of rail bridges for speeds over 200 km/h, to guard against excessive vibrations. Excessive vibrations can lead to ballast instability and unacceptable reduction in wheel rail contact forces.

  • What is the environmental sustainability strategy for Network Rail?

    This latter date was accelerated to 2035 and published within the Network Rail environmental sustainability strategy. The Sustainable Land Use programme has worked with global ecology experts at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology to create remote habitat mapping data for the rail network.

  • What are Metrolinx general guidelines for design of railway bridges and structures?

    The purpose of METROLINX General Guidelines for Design of Railway Bridges and Structures is to ensure that METROLINX owned and operated infrastructure is designed, constructed and maintained utilizing safe, cost effective, durable and efficient methods to meet project delivery timelines, and on-time operational performance goals.

  • What is the purpose of the design guide?

    The purpose of the design guide is to give options as to how that work might be done. It provides case studies, not just from the railway, but other linear and estate managers. It is intended to show our railway managers and maintainers what the art of the possible might be. To provide ideas for how activities could be done differently.
