Abstract:Purpose. The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology for determining the bearing capacity of reinforced concrete spans for the railway by the results of static or dynamic tests of the spans. Methodology. For the span that should be classificated, the survey is being conducted and the measurements of deflections and natural frequency are performed under passing vehicles, using simple measuring devices (flexometer, vibrograph). Received deflection and frequency data is not complicated but it gives a re… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
