    ENG: This paper reports the full-scale experimental measurements of temperature distribution over the surfaces of bridges’ steel-concrete beams under the influence of positive and negative ambient temperatures. It has been established that the temperature is distributed unevenly along the vertical direction of a bridge’s steel-concrete beam. It was found that the metal beam accepted higher temperature values. The maximum registered temperature difference between a metal beam and a reinforced concrete slab at positive ambient temperatures was +9.0 °C, and the minimum temperature difference was −2.1 °C. The mathematical models for calculating a temperature field and a thermally strained state of bridges’ steel-concrete beams under the influence of variable climatic temperature changes in the environment have been improved, taking into consideration the uneven temperature distribution across a bridge’s reinforced concrete beam. The possibility has been established to consider a one-dimensional problem or to apply the three-dimensional estimated problem schemes as the estimation schemes for determining the thermoelastic state of reinforced concrete bridges. The temperature field and the stressed state of bridges’ reinforced concrete beams were determined. It was found that the maximum stresses arise at the place where a metal beam meets a reinforced concrete slab. These stresses amount to 73.4 MPa at positive ambient temperatures, and 69.3 MPa at negative ambient temperatures. The amount of stresses is up to 35 % of the permissible stress values. The overall stressed-strained state of a bridge’s reinforced concrete beams should be assessed at the joint action of temperature-in- duced climatic influences and loads from moving vehicles.

    Restoration of the Bearing Capacity of Damaged Transport Constructions Made of Corrugated Metal Structures
    (RTU Press, Latvia, 2021) Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.; Sysyn, Mykola P.; Hnativ, Yuriy M.; Onyshchenko, Artur; Koval, Maksym; Tiutkin, Oleksii L.; Parneta, Mariana
    ENG: The paper deals with damages of transport constructions made of corrugated metal structures in the body of a railway track or a road during their operation. A constructive variant to restore the bearing capacity of structures was developed, which consists of installing an annular stiffening rib into the concave part of the corrugated metal profile. The main advantage of this method compared to the double corrugating method is the possibility of performing the reinforcement works during structure operation without interrupting the movement of transport vesicles. The study has proved that the reinforcement method significantly increases the carrying capacity of corrugated metal structures. A numerical finite element model was developed to determine the stress-strain state of structures made of corrugated metal structures reinforced with round stiffening ribs. The soil pressure on the corrugated shell in the model is taken into account with the application of radial and axial forces on the outer surface of the shell. It was determined that the most appropriate location of the ribs is in the centre of the building, where the reinforcement area corresponds to the width of the road or railway line. The advantage of this approach is the ability to more efficiently distribute the reinforcement material by selecting the ribs in the most loaded sections of corrugated metal structures.
