Calculation of the load capacity of an arched road structure fromcorrugated metal by analytical method

Introduction. One of the possible options for a simple, practical design of an arched road structure (small bridge) made of corrugated metal is considered, which can be considered as one that is more accurate and labor-intensive for the design of such a structure under the road pressure, as the “structure – soil” system for finite element method. Problem Statement. Regular normative and methodological documents for the design and maintenance of road structures (culverts, small bridges, tunnels) made of corrugated metal provide a simple formula for the structure of the structure and deformation of the body for such structures round pipes. The world is constantly streaming a wider range of rational and fairly simple types of road structures. Purpose. To show one of the possible ways of calculating an arched road structure made of corrugated metal on the basis of generally accepted initial provisions and a simple, understandable calculation scheme is the goal and task of this work.
