Abstract: In the last four decades, soil‐metal structures have been used extensively as short‐span bridges. With deep soil cover, the soil provides the necessary support for the metallic structure. However, for long spans and shallow ...

Abstract: Corrugated steel sheets are used extensively in construction. They are often bolted together in lap joints for quick and easy assemblage. These structures are built to form different shapes, such as underground curved ...

Abstract: To analyze and design long-span soil-metal structures and other structures involving soil or reinforced soil, it is important to estimate accurately the soil properties. Triaxial tests are carried out on reinforced as well ...

Abstract: For economic reasons, manufacturers of soil-metal bridges have strived to build these structures under the shallowest possible depth of soil cover, below the one allowed by codes of practice. For such structures, special ...
