Abstract
Purpose. The purpose of this work is to analyze the existing composite reinforced concrete girder structures of bridges, determine their advantages and disadvantages, study of stress changes in the elements of the girder structure and its deflections caused by the coupling of metal beams and reinforced concrete roadway, the possibility of using these structures in post-conflict reconstruction. Methodology. Examination of the data covered in the literature. Studying the experience of design and construction of reinforced concrete girder structures of bridges in our country and abroad. Construction of the calculation model, its loading, change of thickness of a reinforced concrete plate, the analysis of results. Findings. The result of this work is collected data on the advantages and disadvantages of reinforced concrete girder structures of bridges under the railway, the impact on stress in the elements of the girder structure and on its vertical deflections by the joint work of metal beams and concrete slab, analysis of the possibility of using such girders for fast resumption of train traffic. Originality. It lies in that for the rapid and high-quality restoration of destroyed transport infrastructure, including railways, it is proposed to use metal beams of long-term storage (mobilization reserve), which are made on standard projects in the middle of last century, combined with reinforced concrete slab included in joint work, thereby obtaining composite reinforced concrete girder structures. This will allow rational use of the available reserve of materials, high recovery rates and reliable recovery of train traffic. Practical value. Based on the obtained data, it is possible to conclude that the method of combining the long-term stored metal beams and reinforced concrete slabs of the carriageway increases the load-bearing capacity of the obtained girder structures, so the use of these structures can ensure the effective restoration of war-torn railway structures in a short time.
