The article discusses the methodology for calculating corrugated metal structures used as culverts based on the semi-analytical finite element method. The calculation is carried out according to a non-deformable scheme using the load dependences obtained on the basis of the structural mechanics of bulk solids. Significant differences in the nature of the stress-strain state of corrugated structures in comparison with smooth shells is revealed.
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.
