Abstract
The aim of the research is to analyze the methods of calculating and evaluation of the bearing capacity of corrugated metal structures (the CMS) in interaction with soil backfill as a result of stress from rolling stock or vehicles. To prove the applicability of these methods for the calculation of pipes of different diameters and different structural forms. The methods of calculating the deflected mode of corrugated metal pipes of small diameter (up to 3 m.) at constant load, and calculation methods CMS of large diameter more than 6 m are analyzed. The calculated models that take into account the spatial work of structures is more correct than " flat " models and calculated scheme, and therefore the calculation of the CMS is to apply three-dimensional calculation model which model the most realistic work of corrugated metal structures. For the first time the methods of calculation and experience designing of flexible corrugated metal structures at interaction of soil backfill and under the influence of the stress from the rolling stock and road transport are analyzed. The obtained analysis of the evaluation methodologies of the bearing capacity of corrugated metal structures of different shape section can be used by engineers in bridge probationary stations Ukrainian Railroad (UR) and Ukravtodor and project organizations involved in the design and construction of the CMS

Bend of izotropic plate with two indentical co-axial open cracks at plastic zones meeting between them taking into account the contact of crack banks
A problem of biaxial bending under distributed on infinity moments of isotropic plate with the co-axial cracks of identical length is stated and solved. The vectors of the applied to the plate moments are perpendicular a...
The analysis of the stepping machines constructive features influence on the interaction of the skis supporting surface with ground
The stepping machines constructive features influence on the interaction of the skis supporting surface with ground is analyzed. The comparison is justified with the known stepping mover’s constructive features. It is de...
Constructive damping in the conical holder with an elastic filler
Operation of all machines and mechanisms is directly related to arising of vibrations. In the majority of cases vibrations worsen durability, reliability and longevity of industrial machines, mechanisms and buildings; th...
Simulation of the welded roof truss behaviour under distributed loadings
The paper deals with the typical 36x9m size welded steel roof truss behavior under the influence of evenly distributed static load of different intensity on its top chord. Computer simulation is performed taking advantag...
Biaxial tension of a plate with a Griffiths crack
According to the elastic approach the biaxial loading problem of the plane with an elliptical defect was solved. Using the obtained solution and the deformation approach [1, 3] the solution for the cracked plane under th...
