Накратко на български
Металните мостове за животни се тестват чрез измерване на деформациите им при засипване с почва. Това помага за по-точното проектиране и изчисляване на стабилността на подобни гъвкави конструкции.

Super-span soil-steel bridge (animal crossing) - backfill and long-term monitoring
Brief summary of the main activities carried out during ERG: ARCH-CULV research project: -Full-scale field test of super-span metal twin arches during backfilling. Strains and deflections data were acquired on the response of the structure to the soil dead load during backfilling process on the A4 motorway. -Comparative and verification analyses. Analyses of the soil-structure system were carried out using Finite Element Method. Proposed calculations characterised by high degree of convergence between experimental and numerical results and better reflect of natural behaviour of flexible structures. Results were presented on international conferences and published in the peer reviewed publications. -Academic activities The researcher was involved in academic activities. He prepared and run at the host university the course, which was organised for senior students and it concerning the testing, designing and constructing the soil-steel buried structures and geotechnical issues. -Cooperation between university and industry. The researcher could maintain close cooperation with the flexible culvert producer (ViaCon Company) and carried on another full-scale test. -Addition full-scale field test of super-span single arch during backfilling. Additional, complete, full-scale field test of super-span single arch during backfilling was carried out in the store field of the ViaCon factory in Poland. Installing entire structure was financed by ViaCon Company.

Цел на проекта
Metal soil-steel bridges are getting more and more popular in Europe in recent years.Four identical large-span flexible structures SuperCor will be constructed on A4 motorway in Poland.The structures will be low-profile arch metal culverts with a span of 19.5m and a rise of 6.0m.The culverts will be served as animal crossings.The primary objectives of the proposal are connected with realization of fullscale field tests of one of mentioned structures during backfilling operation and long-term monitoring of behaviour after the end of construction. The main research objectives are the following:1)Investigation of strains and deformations in metal plates of culvert during backfilling operations,2)Long-term monitoring of behaviour of a large-span metal structure after the end of construction,3)The analysis of the results, and the calibration computer codes used to the Finite Element Method(FEM) to model the behaviour of large-span culverts. The important objective of the proposal is detailed analyses of test results.Numerical culverts models will be created using the FEM and these FEM systems will be adjusted for geotechnical purposes.The experimental data obtained under field and fullscale tests are urgently needed to verify geotechnical software and development design methods.The other objective is to run a new course by applicant entitled:""Flexible buried structures""at the host institution.The course will concern testing,designing and constructing buried structures and it will be run together with one of the experts from Norway. One of the aims of Human Resources and Mobility Activity is to increase mobility of researchers in Europe as an instrument of researchers’ exchange between universities and industry.The proposal certainly meets this aim enabling the applicant to continue his researches in Norway as a part of the initial fellowship and it will give him a possibility of managing research project at the home university in cooperation with an industrial partner.""
