Item A Comprehensive Procedure for Estimating the Stressedstrained State of a Reinforced Concrete Bridge Under the Action of Variable Environmental Temperatures(РС ТЕСHNOLOGY СЕNTЕR, Kharkiv, Ukraine, 2021) Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.; Onyshchenko, Artur; Fedorenko, Olexander; Habrel, Mykola; Parneta, Bogdan Z.; Voznyak, Oleh M.; Markul, Ruslan V.; Parneta, Mariana; Rybak, RomanENG: 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.Item Determining Patterns in the Stressed-Deformed State of the Railroad Track Subgrade Reinforced with Tubular Drains(РС ТЕСHNOLOGY СЕNTЕR, Kharkiv, Ukraine, 2020) Luchko, Josyp; Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.; Kravets, Ivan B.; Gajda, Oleksiy; Onyshchenko, ArturEN: The technical condition of the railroad track subgrade has been analyzed, as well as the issues related to ensuring its strength and stability when exposed to floodwaters and when the track's sections are overmoistened during operation. As a result, it has been established that it is necessary to develop methods aimed at improving the subgrade's carrying capacity. The georadar research has explored the problematic areas of the railroad track subgrade, based on which the distribution of subgrade heterogeneity in the vertical plane, as well as the boundaries of its location, were established. Therefore, georadar research makes it possible to detect hidden defective sites in the subgrade without disrupting its strength characteristics. A technique has been proposed to improve the carrying capacity of the failed subgrade of a railroad track using the combined arrangement of drainage pipes in the vertical and horizontal directions in the railroad embankment. The special feature of this technique is the possibility to drain water at the different levels of surface water, which provides for an increase in the carrying capacity of the failed subgrade. The strained-deformed state of the subgrade reinforced with tubular drainage has been investigated. The result has proven the effectiveness of the use of tubular drainages to improve the carrying capacity of the railroad track overmoistened subgrade exposed to constant and temporary loads. This study findings have established that the deformity of the subgrade increases when using tubular drainage, though this occurs only in the initial period of its arrangement, in further operation, when it removes water from the subgrade body, the carrying capacity of the subgrade, on the contrary, will improve due to the enhanced physical and mechanical properties of soils.Item Determining the Strained State of Prefabricated Metal Corrugated Structures of a Tunnel Overpass Exposed to the Dynamic Loading from Railroad Rolling Stock(РС Тесhnology Сеntеr, Kharkiv, Ukraine, 2022) Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.; Koval, Maksym; Onyshchenko, Artur; Kravets, Ivan B.; Bal, Olena M.; Markul, Ruslan V.; Vikhot, S.; Petrenko, Oleksiy V.; Rybak, Roman; Milyanych, Andriy R.ENG: This paper reports the analysis of prospects for the use of prefabricated metal corrugated structures in the body of the embankment of a railroad track in the form of a tunnel overpass in order to pass road vehicles and railroad rolling stock. A technique of inertial dynamic tests of the deformed state of a tunnel overpass from prefabricated metal corrugated structures during the passage of railroad rolling stock is given, by measuring accelerations at the top and on the sides of overpass structures. An algorithm is proposed for processing the acceleration signal for assessing the strained state of metal corrugated structures of a tunnel overpass under the action of dynamic load from railroad transport. Experimental dynamic measurements of accelerations arising at the top and on the sides of a tunnel overpass during the passage of passenger and freight railroad rolling stock were carried out. The maximum value of accelerations arising at the top of a tunnel overpass during the passage of a freight train was 7.99 m/s2, and when passing a passenger train – 6.21 m/s2; the maximum accelerations that occur on the sides were 2.63 m/s2 and 1.77 m/s2. It is established that the maximum deformations of metal corrugated structures of the top of a tunnel overpass, when passing freight and passenger trains are, respectively, 1.63 mm and 1.11 mm. The maximum strains of metal corrugated structures on the sides of an overpass are 1.07 mm and 0.48 mm. The value of relative deformations in the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the structures of a tunnel overpass under the action of dynamic loads from the railroad rolling stock has been found. The relative vertical strains of an overpass amounted to 0.020 %; horizontal – 0.012 %. The practical significance of this work is that with the help of the devised procedure for measuring accelerations, it is possible to assess the strained state of metal corrugated structures under the influence of dynamic loads from the railroad rolling stock.Item Devising a Procedure for Assessing the Subgrade Compaction Degree Based on the Propagation Rate of Elastic Waves(РС Тесhnology Сеntеr, Kharkiv, Ukraine, 2021) Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.; Kravets, Ivan B.; Nabochenko, Olga S.; Onyshchenko, Artur; Fedorenko, Olexander; Pentsak, Andriy; Petrenko, Oleksiy V.; Hembara, NataliyaEN: This paper reports the analysis of the methods for estimating the technical condition of the subgrade underneath a constructed railroad track or road during its operation. The study results have proven that the issue related to monitoring and controlling high-quality compac-tion of a heterogeneous subgrade remains relevant and requires the construction of reliable experi-mental methods for assessing the subgrade degree of compaction.A procedure for determining the compaction of subgrade in the laboratory has been devised, based on inertial microcomputer technologies, which makes it pos-sible to assess the degree of com-paction of subgrade soils depend-ing on the propagation rate of an impact's elastic waves.An experimental study has been performed into the propaga-tion rate of elastic waves across a homogeneous subgrade made of coarse-grained sand and a hetero-geneous subgrade made of coarse sand with a layer of clay in the middle of the prism. The study results established that the propa-gation rate of an elastic wave in a heterogeneous subgrade accepts a lower value than the rate of wave propagation in a homogeneous subgrade.Through the dynamic inter-pretation, by using a discriminant statistical analysis, the character-istic features have been defined in the distribution of accelerations in the body of the homogeneous and heterogeneous subgrade, depend-ing on the degree of compaction, which would make it possible to monitor the state of the subgrade during operation. As the degree of the subgrade soil compaction affects the technical condition of roads.Item Devising a Procedure to Calculate and Analyze Parameters for Passing the Flood and Breakthrough Wave Taking into Consideration the Topographical and Hydraulic Riverbed Irregularities(РС Тесhnology Сеntеr, Kharkiv, Ukraine, 2022) Onyshchenko, Artur; Ostroverkh, Вorys; Potapenko, Liudmila; Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.; Tokin, Оleksndr; Harkusha, Mykola; Bashkevych, Іryna; Koretskyi, Andrii; Khvoshchynska, Nadiia; Rolinska, IrynaENG: It has been established that the most likely period of breakthrough wave occurrence is the time of spring flooding or heavy rain when water-head facilities are subjected to significant loads that lead to the collapse of their individual elements or the entire structure. In addition, the possibility of man-made accidents that can occur at any time cannot be ruled out. It has been proven that breakthrough wave formation depends on the nature of the destruction or the overflow through a water-head facility. For the study reported in this paper, a model of the kinematics of riverbed and breakthrough flows was used, which is based on the equations of flow, washout, and transport of sediments that are averaged for the depths of the stream. The differential equations describing the nonstationary flow averaged for depth are solved using the numerical grid system FST2DH (2D Depth-averaged Flow and Sediment Transport Model), which implements a finite-element method on the plan of a riverbed's topographic region. These tools are publicly available, which allows their wide application to specific loads and boundary conditions of mathematical models. The construction of an estimation grid involving the setting of boundary conditions and the use of geoinformation system tools makes it possible to simulate the destruction of a culvert of the pressure circuit and obtain results for a specific case of an actual riverbed and a water-head facility. It has been established that there is a decrease in the speed of wave propagation along the profile, from 3 m/s to 1 m/s. The impact of bottom irregularities, the effect of floodplains, and the variety of bottom roughness have also been assessed, compared to the results of their calculation based on one-dimensional models given in the regulatory documents. Hydraulic calculations were carried out taking into consideration the related properties of the main layer of the floodplain, which consists of peat accumulations, and the heterogeneity of the depths and roughness of floodplain surfaces of soils. It has been established that there is almost no erosion of supports in the floodplain zone in this case. It was found that as the distance between the flow and breakthrough intersection increases, there is a decrease in the height of the head from 2.1 m to 1.25 m.Item Investigating the Influence of the Diameter of a Fiberglass Pipe on the Deformed State of Railroad Transportation Structure “Embankment-Pipe”(РС Тесhnology Сеntеr, 2022) Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.; Sobolevska, Yuliya; Onyshchenko, Artur; Bal, Olena M.; Kravets, Ivan B.; Pentsak, Andriy; Parneta, Bogdan Z.; Kuzyshyn, Andriy; Boiarko, Vladyslav; Voznyak, Oleh M.ENG: This paper has analyzed the use of fiberglass pipes in the body of the railroad embankment by a method of pushing them through the subgrade. A flat rod model has been improved for assessing the deformed state of the transport structure "embankment-fiberglass pipe" by a method of forces when replacing the cross-section of the pipe with a polygonal one. The analytical model accounts for the interaction between the pipe and soil of the railroad embankment. To this end, radial and tangential elastic ligaments are introduced into the estimation scheme, which make it possible to simulate elastic soil pressure, as well as friction forces that occur when the soil comes into contact with the pipe. The deformed state of the transport structure "embankment-fiberglass pipe" was calculated by the method of forces and by a finite-element method under the action of load from the railroad rolling stock, taking into consideration the different cross-sections of the pipe. It has been established that with an increase in the diameter of the fiberglass pipe, the value of deformations of the subgrade and fiberglass pipe increases. With a pipe diameter of 1.0 m, the deformation value in the vaulted pipe is 2.12 mm, and with a pipe diameter of 3.6 m – 4.16 mm. At the same time, the value of deformations of the subgrade under the sleeper is 5.2 mm and 6.0 mm, respectively. It was determined that the maximum deformations of the subgrade, which occur above the pipe, with a pipe diameter of 3.6 m, are 4.46 mm. At the same time, the maximum vertical deformations of a fiberglass pipe arise in the pipe vault and, with a pipe diameter of 3.6 m, are 4.16 mm. It has been established that the maximum horizontal deformations of the subgrade occur at points of horizontal diameter of the fiberglass pipe while the minimal horizontal deformations of the subgrade occur at points lying on the vertical diameter of the pipe.Item Methods of Increasing Carrying Capacity of Transport Constructions Made of Metal Corrugated Structures under Operating Conditions(Primedia eLaunch, Boston, 2021) Kovalchuk, Vitalii; Onyshchenko, Artur; Fedorenko, Olexander; Habrel, Mykola; Pentsak, Andriy; Petrenko, OleksiyENG: The assessment of the bearing capacity of transport constructions with MCSs is one of the most important factors in the formation and maintenance of reliable operation of transport infrastructure. Therefore, the development and improvement of methods for calculating transport constructions is constantly given considerable attention, especially to promising constructions made of corrugated metal structures.Item Procedure for Determining the Thermoelastic State of a Reinforced Concrete Bridge Beam Strengthened with Methyl Methacrylate(РС Тесhnology Сеntеr, Kharkiv, Ukraine, 2021) Kovalchuk, Vitalii V.; Sobolevska, Yuliia H.; Onyshchenko, Artur; Fedorenko, Olexander; Tokin, Oleksndr; Pavliv, Andrii; Kravets, Ivan B.; Lesiv, JuliaENG: This paper reports the analysis of methods for determining temperature stresses and deformations in bridge structures under the influence of climatic temperature changes in the environment. A one-dimensional model has been applied to determine the temperature field and thermoelastic state in order to practically estimate the temperature fields and stresses of strengthened beams taking into consideration temperature changes in the environment. The temperature field distribution has been determined in the vertical direction of a reinforced concrete beam depending on the thickness of the structural reinforcement with methyl methacrylate. It was established that there is a change in the temperature gradient in a contact between the reinforced concrete beam and reinforcement. The distribution of temperature stresses in the vertical direction of a strengthened reinforced concrete beam has been defined, taking into consideration the thickness of the reinforcement with methyl methacrylate and the value of its elasticity module. It was established that the thickness of the reinforcement does not have a significant impact on increasing stresses while increasing the elasticity module of the structural reinforcement leads to an increase in temperature stresses. The difference in the derived stress values for a beam with methyl methacrylate reinforcement with a thickness of 10 mm and 20 mm, at elasticity module E=15,000 MPa, is up to 3 % at positive and negative temperatures. It has been found that there is a change in the nature of the distribution of temperature stresses across the height of the beam at the contact surface of the reinforced concrete beam and methyl methacrylate reinforcement. The value of temperature stresses in the beam with methyl methacrylate reinforcement and exposed to the positive and negative ambient temperatures increases by three times. It was established that the value of temperature stresses is affected by a difference in the temperature of the reinforced concrete beam and reinforcement, as well as the physical and mechanical parameters of the investigated structural materials of the beam and the structural reinforcement with methyl methacrylate.Item 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, MarianaENG: 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.
