Load restraining on road vehicles - Safety - Part 1: Calculation of securing forces

This European Standard is applicable to the design of securing methods (blocking, lashing, and combinations) for securing of loads for surface transport by road vehicles or parts of them (lorries, trailers, containers and swap bodies), including their transport on vessels or by rail and/or combinations thereof. Hump shunting with acceleration over 1 g during railway transport is excluded, as it is not foreseen in combined transport. (Web lashings see EN 12195-2, lashing chains see EN 12195-3, lashing steel wire ropes see EN 12195-4).
This European Standard does not apply for vehicles with a total weight equal to or lower than 3 500 kg.
NOTE Lighter vehicles can have driving characteristics, which give higher values of acceleration on the road.
For dimensioning of load securing a distinction is made between stable loads and loads liable to tilting. Furthermore, the acceleration coefficients for surface transport are specified.
For over top lashing the force loss in the tension force of the lashing at the outer edges between load and lashing is taken into account. The securing forces to be chosen for calculation in this EN 12195-1 are static forces produced by blocking or tensioning of lashings and dynamic forces, which act on the lashing as a reaction of the load movements.
Examples for the application of calculations are given in Annex A.

Ladungssicherung auf Straßenfahrzeugen - Sicherheit - Teil 1: Berechnung von Sicherungskräften

Diese Europäische Norm gilt für die Auslegung der verschiedenen Sicherungsverfahren (Blockieren, Zurren und deren Kombinationen) zur Ladungssicherung für den Land- und Seetransport durch Straßenfahrzeuge oder deren Teile (LKW, Anhänger, Container und Wechselbehälter), einschließlich ihres Transports auf Schiffen oder auf der Schiene und/oder einer Kombination dieser Verkehrsarten. Der Ablaufrangierbetrieb bei mehr als 1 g Beschleunigung ist ausgeschlossen, da dieser bei kombiniertem Transport nicht vorgesehen ist. (Zurrgurte siehe EN 12195 2, Zurrketten siehe EN 12195 3, Zurrdrahtseile siehe EN 12195 4.)
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für Fahrzeuge mit einem Gesamtgewicht bis einschließlich 3 500 kg.
ANMERKUNG   Leichtere Fahrzeuge können Fahreigenschaften aufweisen, die zu höheren Beschleunigungswerten auf der Straße führen.
Für die Bemessung der Ladungssicherung wird zwischen stabilen und kippgefährdeten Ladungen unter-schieden.
Zudem werden die Beschleunigungsbeiwerte für den Land- und Seetransport angegeben.
Beim Niederzurren wird der Kraftverlust der Spannkraft im Zurrmittel an den Außenkanten zwischen Ladung und Zurrmittel berücksichtigt. Die für die Berechnung nach dieser EN 12195 1 gewählten Sicherungskräfte sind statische Kräfte, die durch das Spannen der Zurrmittel entstehen, sowie dynamische Kräfte, die auf das Zurr-mittel als Rückwirkung der Ladungsbewegungen wirken.
Beispiele für die Anwendung der Berechnungen sind in Anhang A angegeben.

Dispositifs d'arrimage des charges à bord des véhicules routiers - Sécurité - Partie 1: Calcul des forces de retenue

La présente Norme européenne concerne la conception des méthodes d’assujettissement (blocage, arrimage
et combinaisons) pour l’assujettissement des charges dans le cadre du transport de surface par véhicules
routiers ou parties de ces derniers (camions, remorques, conteneurs et carrosseries mobiles), y compris le
transport à bord de navires ou par chemin de fer et/ou avec des combinaisons de ces divers modes de
transport. Elle ne traite pas de la manoeuvre par gravité supérieure à 1g lors du transport ferroviaire (sangles
d'arrimage, voir EN 12195-2, chaînes d'arrimage, voir EN 12195-3, câbles d'arrimage en acier, voir
EN 12195-4).
La présente Norme européenne ne s’applique pas aux véhicules d’un poids total inférieur ou égal à 3500 kg.
NOTE Les véhicules plus légers peuvent avoir des caractéristiques d'entraînement qui fournissent des valeurs
d’accélération plus élevées sur route.
Pour le dimensionnement de l’assujettissement de la charge, une distinction est faite entre les charges
stables et les charges susceptibles de basculer.
Par ailleurs, les coefficients d’accélération pour le transport de surface sont spécifiés.
Pour l’arrimage par le dessus, la diminution de la tension de l’arrimage au niveau des bords extérieurs entre la
charge et l’arrimage est prise en considération. Les forces d'arrimage de retenue à choisir pour effectuer les
calculs selon la présente norme EN 12195-1 sont les forces statiques générées par le blocage ou la tension
des dispositifs d’arrimages et les forces dynamiques, qui agissent sur les arrimages en réaction aux
mouvements des charges.
Des exemples pour l’application de ces calculs sont donnés à l'Annexe A.

Naprave za varovanje tovora na cestnih vozilih - Varnost - 1. del: Izračun priveznih sil

Ta evropski standard velja za načrtovanje metod pritrjevanja (blokade, zategovanja in kombinacij) za pritrditev tovora za površinski prevoz s cestnimi vozili ali njihovimi deli (tovornjaki, prikolicami, zabojniki in zamenljivimi tovorišči), vključno z njihovim prevozom na plovilih ali z železnico in/ali kombinacijo navedenega. Ranžiranje čez izbokline s pospeški nad 1 g med železniškim prevozom ni vključeno, ker pri kombiniranem prevozu ni predvideno. (Za pletene zategovalne pasove glej EN 12195-2, za zategovalne verige glej EN 12195-3, za jeklene žične vrvi za privez glej EN 12195-4).
Ta evropski standard ne velja za vozila s skupno težo do vključno 3.500 kg.
OPOMBA: Lažja vozila imajo lahko vozne lastnosti, ki na cesti omogočajo večje pospeške.
Pri dimenzioniranju pritrjevanja tovora razlikujemo stabilni tovor in tovor, ki se lahko nagiba. Določeni so tudi koeficienti pospeška za površinski prevoz.
Pri zategovanju čez zgornji del se upošteva izguba zatezne sile zategovanja na zunanjih robovih med tovorom in zategovalnim pasom. Sile pritrjevanja, izbrane za izračun v tem EN 12195-1, so statične sile, ki nastanejo z blokado ali napenjanjem zategovalnih pasov, in dinamične sile, ki delujejo na zategovalne pasove kot reakcija premikanja tovora.
Primeri uporabe izračunov so podani v dodatku A.

EN 12195-1:2010 (E) 5 Introduction This part of EN 12195 has been prepared to provide a means of conforming with the essential safety requirements to calculate securing forces for load restraint assemblies to be used in the Common European Market and thus enabling unrestricted transport of cargo. This part of EN 12195 contributes to the harmonization of the calculation of load securing on road vehicles by giving the different procedures and equations of load securing. Blocking and lashing procedures and appropriate combinations are described for load securing. The equations used are based on relevant scientific and, in particular, on mechanical laws and practical experience. For this purpose, a suitable vehicle with appropriate assemblies for blocking, bracing and securing should be used to ensure safe load transportation. Transportation safety should be guaranteed by the dimensioning of load securing according to this European Standard. The extent to which the hazards acting on the load during transport and resulting from the forces of load are addressed is given in the scope of this European Standard. In addition, load restraint assemblies for securing of loads on vehicles with respect to their securing and load bearing ability, which are not covered by this European Standard, should conform to the other parts of this standard and to EN ISO 12100-2. SIST EN 12195-1:2011

Hump shunting with acceleration over 1 g during railway transport is excluded, as it is not foreseen in combined transport. (Web lashings see EN 12195-2, lashing chains see EN 12195-3, lashing steel wire ropes see EN 12195-4). This European Standard does not apply for vehicles with a total weight equal to or lower than 3 500 kg. NOTE Lighter vehicles can have driving characteristics, which give higher values of acceleration on the road. For dimensioning of load securing a distinction is made between stable loads and loads liable to tilting. Furthermore, the acceleration coefficients for surface transport are specified. For over top lashing the force loss in the tension force of the lashing at the outer edges between load and lashing is taken into account. The securing forces to be chosen for calculation in this EN 12195-1 are static forces produced by blocking or tensioning of lashings and dynamic forces, which act on the lashing as a reaction of the load movements.

Combinations of longitudinal and transverse accelerations occurring during transport are covered by the values of the tables. In case of combination of different modes of transport the maximum relevant acceleration coefficient, as appropriate, has to be taken into account. Superposition of the weight of the load with high frequency stresses and occasional occurring shock loadings of short duration are absorbed by the elongation of the lashing devices and the shock absorber system of the lorries and trailers. This occurs without any significant increase of stress, so that this can be ignored for the purpose of this European Standard which gives a practical and not a scientific view. Even for cargo with no risk of sliding or tilting, measures (e.g. blocking or lashing) shall be taken to avoid them to be significantly displaced due to vibrations. 4.2 Load on load carriers during road transport The acceleration coefficients for load carriers during road transport shall be as given in Table 2.

C Unrestricted. 5 Methods of calculation 5.1 General The general requirements for a safe transport are:  the sum of forces in any direction equals zero;  the sum of moments in any plane equals zero. Load securing devices and aids, as e.g. wedges, web lashing devices according to EN 12195-2, lashing chains according to EN 12195-3 and lashing steel wire ropes according to EN 12195-4 have to sustain the forces and moments, longitudinally, transversely and vertically, the restraint device and the cargo unit are supposed to sustain. Generally, load securing consists of balancing the forces of a load by locking, blocking and/or lashing. Locking, a completely positive connection, is mainly used in the transport of containers and is not usually combined with lashing devices. Blocking results in a positive connection in the blocked direction only and therefore is often combined with lashing devices. This is taken into consideration in 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5. All calculation equations given in this European Standard are based on symmetrical (longitudinal and transverse) lashing methods. If the lashings are made unsymmetrical, this shall be taken into account when calculations are performed; this is not dealt with in this European Standard. The two basic lashing methods are:  frictional lashing (see 3.1.8);  direct lashing (see 3.1.9). For the design of the direct lashing method a conversion factor fµ = 0,75 will be used in combination with µ and is included in all appropriate equations. SIST EN 12195-1:2011



EN 12195-1:2010 (E) 14 The frictional lashing method is described in 5.4, the direct lashing method in 5.5. For load of which the effectiveness of the load securing arrangements cannot be determined by means of calculations in this European Standard (e.g. for some non rigid goods), the calculations can be replaced by suitable tests (see Clause 7) reflecting basic design parameters (see 4.2 to 4.4). For unstable goods in combination with frictional lashing, the increased force in the lashing device due to tilting of the goods should not exceed half of the LC. The number of lashing devices to be used should be the largest of the following two calculations:  cy = 0,5 calculated with FT = STF;  cy = 0,6 calculated with FT = 0,5 LC. In the case of the direct lashing method the calculation should be used based on:  cy = 0,6 calculated with FR = LC. 5.2 Stability of unsecured load The stability of a load should be determined both in longitudinal direction (x-axis) and in transverse direction (y-axis). Using the designations of Figure 1, the stability condition for a load is specified as follows: dFbF×>×yx,yx,z (1) dFFbzx,yx,y> (2) dccbzx,yx,y> (3) The quantities cx, cy and cz are the acceleration coefficients in accordance with Clause 4 (for road transport cy to be taken as 0,5). If the condition of Equation (1) is met, a load is stable. An unstable load will have a high centre of gravity in relation to the dimensions of the bottom surface. In the case of an unstable load the risk of tilting over has to be taken into account. SIST EN 12195-1:2011
