“…In the case of flexible structures which are the subject of the article, the proper compaction of the soil is a very significant parameter influencing the load-carrying ability and stability of the constructed buried flexible steel structure. This is of high importance at the stage of constructing structures of this type, as the proper consolidation of the soil facilitates full cooperation of the flexible shell structure in distributing service loads (Moore and Taleb 1999;Sobótka 2014;Regier et al 2016;Kraus et al 2011).…”

The article attempts to assess the changes in the properties of the soil backfill on the basis of studies carried out on the soil compaction indicator for a buried flexible steel structure located in a section of the Pan-European railway line. Initial tests on soil compaction showed that the backfilling does not meet the standard for railway structures. On this basis, it was decided to conduct additional studies taking into account the probability of compacting the soil during the operation of the structure. In order to verify any changes, the compaction indicator tests were repeated after 7 months of use under intensive railway load. On this basis, it can to be stated that there is relationship between the impact of a service load and the parameters of a soil backfill over time. As a result of the intense exploitation of a structure, an increase in the soil compaction index even up to 6.0% (average 2.5%) occurs.

“…The displacement of a PVC pipe with an external diameter of 0.47 m and a thickness of 0.013 m has been reported by Kraus et al (2014). (Duncan and Chang, 1970) was used to represent the behaviour of the soil.…”

“…The material properties of the soils were adopted from the literature (Boscardin et al, 1990) and are shown in Table 3. The modulus of elasticity (E) and the Poisson ratio (υ) of the pipe were taken as 689000 kPa and 0.35, respectively (Kraus et al, 2014). A full bond between the pipe and the soil was assumed in this analysis.…”

“…The traffic live load in these studies has been considered in a number of ways, e.g. as a uniform pressure (Yoo et al, 1999;Trickey and Moore, 2007;Bryden et al, 2014;and Kraus et al, 2014), single axle load (Fleming et al, 1997;Kang et al, 2013a;Kang et al, 2014;Lay and Brachman, 2014;Mai et al, 2014a;and García and Moore, 2015), and multiple axle loads (McGrath et al, 2002;Arockiasamy et al, 2006;Wong et al, 2006;Kraus et al, 2014;Rakitin and Xu, 2014;Chaallal et al, 2014a;Chaallal et al, 2014b;Sheldon et al, 2014;and García and Moore, 2015). The details of the studies on the pipes with a single axle load or multiple axle loads are shown in Where C is the calculated maximum soil pressure under traffic load in kPa and H is the backfill height in m.…”

This study analyzed 95,000 overweight (OW) single-trip truck permits issued in Wisconsin between May 2007 and June 2013. A geographic information system and relational databases were used to conduct a statewide routing analysis to identify highways that are heavily used by OW permitted trucks, such as WI-140. Field studies at WI-140 confirmed a high proportion of OW trucks. In addition, pavement damage and deterioration caused by heavy truck traffic were investigated by conducting a visual distress survey and determination of the pavement condition index (PCI). The pavement of WI-140 was heavily distressed, with a PCI description of very poor. The Mechanistic–Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) was used on WI-140 to evaluate the performance of the pavement under OW truck traffic. The results of the MEPDG analysis showed that the pavement was heavily distressed and deteriorated, a condition that was consistent with field measurements and observations. A primary application of the routing and pavement analyses is to assist the Wisconsin Department of Transportation in developing rehabilitation strategies for deteriorated pavements.
