Static tests on road bridge made of steel corrugated plates

Damian Bęben , Zbigniew Mańko

Abstract

The paper presents a new road bridge made of arched steel corrugated plates type Multiplate V45, situated on the local road between Bystrzyca Kłodzka and Lądek Zdrój across the Pławna stream in Stary Waliszów. It was built in the place of an arch stone bridge damaged during the flood in July 1997. The steel bridge was founded on two beam footings made of reinforced concrete. The effective span of the new bridge was 10.00 m and the height was 4.02 m. The results of field tests conducted on the steel bridge for three static load schemes after four years of its service are presented. The measured average values of displacements and strains (normal stresses) in the selected elements and points of the steel shell structure were considerably smaller than those calculated for the same known loads. Since this type of structure is often used in Poland for small and middle effective span bridges, the conclusions of this investigation can be used for the whole class of such structures.
