Title:

About Tensioning and Peaking Effects During Construction and Service of Corrugated Soil-Steel Bridges

Accession Number:

01365790

Record Type:

Component

Abstract:

Corrugated steel structures buried in soil undergo extensive deformation during construction. The significant factor characterizing the behavior is peaking in the crown. It is observed that peaking is related to various factors like shape, stiffness and ways of supporting the structure. Based on long term observations, one can conclude that long term downward deflections occur in the crown. All these are related to tensioning effects which are determined by peaking during construction. This paper summarizes the phenomenon of peaking and its consequences on behavior of corrugated steel structure buried in soil during construction and in service stage.
