About this asset

This Revit profile family represents the 60 E1 rail section, conforming to EN 13674-1 standards for heavy-duty rail infrastructure. The 60 E1 rail profile is a standard heavy-duty section designed for high-load railway applications. The geometry is defined by a 172mm total height and a 150mm base width, featuring a robust head and narrow web as specified in EN 13674-1:2003. The profile includes precise radii for the head, web, and base transitions to ensure structural integrity under dynamic loading conditions. This Revit family provides the necessary cross-sectional data, including cross-sectional area, mass per metre, and moments of inertia, allowing for accurate representation within civil and infrastructure design projects.

The download is a 328 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

As a profile family, this asset is best utilised by loading it into a project or template and applying it to sweep-based elements, such as rail paths or structural framing. It can be used as a custom profile for structural beams or as a path-based component in complex infrastructure models. Users should ensure the profile orientation matches the path alignment within the Revit environment to maintain accurate coordinate positioning and structural analysis data.

This profile is intended for civil engineers, transport planners, and infrastructure designers working on railway track design, station platforms, or industrial depot layouts. It is essential for modelling track alignments, maintenance yard configurations, or detailed rail-to-structure interfaces. Professionals searching for this asset will likely be drafting rail infrastructure, conducting structural simulations, or detailing heavy-duty transport corridors. The file serves as a foundational component for accurate quantity take-offs and visualising track geometry in large-scale civil engineering projects.
