ANALYSIS OF EXISTING THEORETICAL METHODS FOR DETERMINING LOADS ACTING ON WATER PASSAGE PIPES IN THE EARTHEN BED OF AUTOMOBILE ROADS

An analysis of theoretical studies in this area has shown that existing calculation schemes based on the hypothesis of a bulk material, despite the interesting solutions obtained in many cases, are unable to fully illuminate the processes that arise in the system and do not exclude the possibility of incorrect determination of the loads acting on the culverts. A more progressive approach compared to the one described above is the system as an elastic body. This approach undoubtedly offers artificial compaction of the entire embankment or a separate part of it in accordance with the distribution of stresses acting on it, while the previous theory considers an embankment that is compacted only under the action of its own pressure and climatic factors. Thus, it is clear that the hypothesis of an elastic half-space in this case not only better satisfies the current state of affairs in road construction, but also allows for more definite and favorable operating conditions for culverts
