Abstract
Introduction. The use of modern materials in the road industry is increasingly common in the construction of roads, one of the modern materials is the use of polymer culverts. The analysis of application of plastic culverts on highways is carried out in the work. The general provisions of design and construction of hydraulic structures of transport construction in the form of culverts made of polymeric materials on highways are given. The existing hydraulic calculation, strength calculations of culverts made of polymeric materials on highways are given. Problem statements. From the literature analysis it is established that culverts made of polymeric materials on highways are in difficult operating conditions, which differ from the operating conditions of reinforced concrete and metal pipes. Purpose. Is to study the effectiveness of culverts made of polymeric materials. Results. The analysis of physical and mechanical properties of culverts made of polymeric materials on highways is carried out. Methods of calculation of culverts from polymeric materials on highways are given. As a result of the conducted researches the analysis of efficiency of application of culverts from polymeric materials on highways is executed. On the basis of the conducted researches the basic requirements to culverts from polymeric materials on highways are established. Conclusions. The results of the research were used in the development of a plan of experimental research to improve regulations for the design, construction and repair of culverts made of polymeric materials on highways. The use of polymer pipes will make it possible to make progressive technical solutions for drainage in road projects.
