Testing the Response of Box-Type Soil-Steel Structures under Static Service Loads

Effect of shell spacing on mechanical behavior of multi-span soil-steel composite structure

“…In both vertical and horizontal displacements, there is a significant difference in the displacements registered during the truck's passage over the structure, depending on the direction of the crossing. This phenomenon, known as the hysteresis effect, had already been discovered in other soil-steel composite structure in the work [ 14 , 16 , 21 , 32 , 33 ].…”

“…Extensive research has been carried out to understand the mechanical behavior of SSCSs under various loading conditions, e.g., under static load [ 21 , 22 ], semi-static load [ 19 , [23] , [24] , [25] ], dynamic load [ 10 , 26 , 27 ], and seismic excitation [ 9 , 28 , 29 ]. Furthermore, several attempts have been made in both field tests [ 16 , 30 , 31 ] and numerical simulation [ [32] , [33] , [34] ] to investigate the response of SSCSs under ultimate loading conditions.…”

Innovative Solutions for the Rehabilitation of Bridges Using Flexible Galvanized Steel Structures: A Case Study

“…Several studies [22][23][24] focus precisely on that. The behavior of the finished structure under static traffic loads has been evaluated in multiple studies [25][26][27], while fewer considered dynamic loads [28][29][30][31][32].…”

On Predicting the Ultimate Capacity of a Large-Span Soil–Steel Composite Bridge

“…The nonlinearity of the soil certainly relates to the structural performance of SSCB for the different limit states. Despite being expensive, different field/lab tests were done studying the backfilling phase [16,17], the dynamic response [18][19][20][21][22], the fatigue [23], the service performance [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33], and the ultimate limit state [4,[34][35][36][37][38]. These tests were seen essential as they provide vital information about the performance of these composite structures for the different conditions of loading.…”
