THE ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF THEORETICAL CALCULATIONS AND NATURAL EXPERIMENTS OF FLOATING BRIDGE

The publication compares the results of theoretical calculations of precipitation of floating bridges from the load of the rolling stock and motor vehicles during the large-scale full-scale tests. The purpose of the research is a justification of the proposed theoretical methods for calculating precipitation of floating bridges. Methodology. The comparative method is used in the paper, as a method for calculation the engineering complex Belinda Structure 2014 is used, license number is GUN-DN20142015. Findings. Comparison of numerical calculations of data of natural experiments in most cases confirmed the adequacy and accuracy of the proposed static-dynamic model. The proposed calculation model can be recommended for use in tasks of dynamic analysis of floating bridges and other floating systems. Originality. Research allows to make a new step to the method of calculation of floating bridges. Practical value. Obtained results allow to use the theoretical methods of calculation as the rules and tips in the calculation of floating bridge, because there are no regulations for the design of floating bridges.
